In the late 1800’s the Sauter family homesteaded in the Columbia River Gorge. They have been farming the land since. This is the second release of Sauter Vineyards Merlot. This wine expresses what I have begun to call “Sauter Candy” - brown sugar, chocolate & spice and everything nice! Each of Sauter wines thus far have expressed these traits. Spending 28 months in neutral French oak this Merlot carries a weighty palate and offers aromas of licorice, coconut and huckleberry.
