Hogue Cabernet Merlot 

 Image

Washington

While Hogue produces varietal Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon wines we have also been blending the two to make a distinct Cabernet-Merlot for several years. This allows us to make a wine that highlights the impact of Washington State terroir and balances the distinct varietal characteristics of both Cabernet and Merlot. The 2003 Cabernet-Merlot has aromas of caramel and cinnamon with ripe, plummy fruit. On the mouth it comes across as well structured and supple showing balanced oak and fruit reminiscent of fresh cherries and strawberries mingled with sun-dried tomato, cinnamon, and subtle spice.
