Velvet Devil Merlot
"WHY ‘VELVET DEVIL? ’ IT MAKES MERLOT SOUND SEXY...BECAUSE IT IS!"
Velvet Devil Merlot - Charles Smith Wines
Balanced, rich and explosive.
Think red plums, bittersweet cocoa with hints of smoke and cedar. SO SMOOTH, SO NAUGHTY, AND SO VERY, VERY NICE.

Score: 88 "This jampot of a merlot is aptly named, with its seductive plum scents giving way to velvety black cherry flavors. An ideal barbecue wine." –Chambers & Chambers Wine
"Bright ruby-red color extends to primary aromatics revealing soft red plums, and suggestions of smoke and cedar. A purposefully, slightly elevated tannic profile puts this Merlot in an entirely new category, providing a robust character that will appeal to all palates. Smooth as velvet, The 2007 Velvet Devil is classic Washington State Merlot—hallmark Columbia Valley."
