Abeja - 2022 - Abeja Merlot Columbia Valley - 750 ml.

Abeja Merlot Columbia Valley is a 2022 vintage red wine from Washington, United States. Producer: Abeja. Supplier-listed varietal/composition: Merlot. Format: 750 ml.

Six to eight inches of rain a year fall on the Columbia Valley, which sits in the rain shadow of the Cascades. Irrigation there is compulsory, not a stylistic decision. Abeja's 2022 Merlot grows on that ground, where wind-blown loess lies over old basalt and the vineyards sit near 46 degrees north, far enough up for very long midsummer days.
