Pour this and you get a glass of ripe black cherry and plum that's soft, rounded and genuinely easy to love. It's a Merlot with the rough edges sanded off. Smooth, fruit-forward, no homework required. Crack it open on a chilled evening, hand a glass to a mate, and let the conversation do the rest. Want it tonight? We'll have it at your door fast, whatever the hour.
The nose is all ripe dark fruit. Black cherry, plum and a little berry jam, with a soft vanilla-and-spice hum from the oak sitting underneath. First sip is plush and juicy, sweet-tasting fruit up front even though the wine itself is dry. The tannins (that gentle grip that dries your tongue a touch) are fine and medium, so it never feels heavy or chewy. It lands smooth and clean, the kind of red that just keeps going down easy.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Red Diamond is a Washington State story. The grapes come from the warm, dry Columbia Valley east of the Cascade Mountains, with fruit drawn from spots like the Yakima Valley and Red Mountain. Here's a fun bit: the brand kicked off in 2003 with this very Merlot, sold only to restaurants at first. Word got around fast and they shifted 25,000 cases in the first year. The wine spends over a year resting in a mix of French and American oak, which is where that soft vanilla-spice edge comes from.
