Genesis Merlot, produced by Hogue Cellars in Washington State's Columbia Valley, offers a rich and layered profile. The wine features aromas of black cherry, plum, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it delivers flavors of ripe berries, chocolate, and subtle oak, with well-integrated tannins leading to a smooth finish. It's an excellent companion to dishes like roasted duck, grilled lamb, or hearty pasta.
