STORY: We will say it again: Merlot is good for you. Washington Merlot can stand up against all the best Merlot on the planet. We mean that. It’s special here and Morgan’s belief is that Merlot is the very best Bordeaux variety that Washington grows. This conviction has stayed with him since his time at Columbia Crest in 2006 when he formed the ideology that Syrah and Merlot were the best wines that Washington had to offer the world. That idea was the basis for the beginnings of Two Vintners and we have championed Merlot ever since, and always will.
