2005 Yates Flower
Merlot
This 10th Anniversary Special Edition Merlot was inspired by the floral fruit bouquet found on Mount Veeder. The perfume aromas and strong red berry flavors were a part of the inspiration behind the name "Flower." This wine truly takes your breath away like a perfect rose in a sea of roses. This elegant and smooth wine is a true expression of what a mountain grown Merlot should be.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Very dark blue, almost black, with a purple edge. The shimmering vibrancy exudes concentration. The aromas manifest the name. Like putting your nose into a freshly blooming rose
with elements of lavender and heather. It is all perfume, fresh red and black fruits and forest. A very full palate
rich, lush and elegant, with all that blueberry, black cherry and nectarine, framed by sassafras and allspice and more blueberry, blue plum and cherry into the very long finish.
