2018 Januik - Merlot Columbia Valley

Served @ DBFW's "Oh No Merlot Tasting" 

Family-owned. Artisan winemaking. Acclaimed Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. You’ve heard dozens of wineries make these claims, and while these statements are certainly true of Januik wines, they seem a little cliché too.

So rather than tell you who we are, we invite you to try our wines or visit us at our new Woodinville winery and let us earn your trust. If Januik becomes your go-to wine, we’ve done our job.

Ripe plum, baked blueberry, lavender, toffee and espresso on the nose. It’s medium-bodied, round and plush with soft tannins and a plummy palate.

The aromas draw you into the glass, with notes of roasted coffee bean, incense, dark chocolate and raspberry. Plump, chocolaty flavors follow. There’s a vibrant freshness to it, though the style is plenty ripe. Editors’ Choice.
