Mission Codename Kynosoura
Oh, Merlot, you just never seem to get the respect you rightfully deserve. We think that might change a bit after today’s fantastic wine reaches our Operatives.
Hailing from the Columbia Valley in Washington, today’s Northstar Winery 2009 Merlot is a power packed wine that would be right at home in any Cab lover’s cellar. Driven by lovely notes of terroir and lovely structure, rather than fruit, today’s wine makes for an excellent pairing for a wide array of food options.
