Novelty Hill Merlot is a rich, medium-bodied red wine from Washington's Columbia Valley. This blend of 91% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon offers fresh plum, red currant, and blackberry aromas and flavors mingled with hints of cocoa and spice, finishing with a supple, lingering texture.

The grapes are sourced from roughly two-thirds Stillwater Creek Vineyard on the Royal Slope, Novelty Hill's estate vineyard, and one-third Alder Ridge in the Horse Heaven Hills, chosen to add richness and texture. Produced and bottled by Novelty Hill Winery in Woodinville, Washington at 14.4% ABV.
