Mark Ryan Winery - 2022 - Little Sister Merlot - 750 ml.

Subregion: Columbia Valley

Before Cabernet Sauvignon took over Washington's vineyards, Merlot earned the state its first serious national attention in the 1990s. Bottlings from wineries like Leonetti and Andrew Will made the case back then. Little Sister, a 2022 Merlot from Mark Ryan Winery, keeps that older thread running.
