Winemaker Notes
Merlot grows beautifully in the loose, rocky soils of the Columbia Valley; by restricting irrigation, we force the plants to ripen fruit and not grow big canopies of leaves. Early ripening Merlot is carefully fermented and then aged in mostly American Oak barrels to more closely match the intense fruit aromas with the smokey barrels. The core of chalky tannins and the gorgeous fruit aromas and flavors give the wine a unique personality.

Since the release of the 1982 vintage, Covey Run has crafted high quality, price worthy wines from Washington’s Columbia River Valley, wines that have been embraced by consumers and journalists alike earning over 20 Wine Spectator Best Values awards. Led by winemaker Kate Michaud, Covey Run's portfolio includes delicious wines for every occasion, from stylish entertaining, to casual gatherings and picnics with family and friends.
Covey Run wines benefit from the long, sunny days and cool nights of eastern Washington vineyards. The whites are distinguished by crisp acidity and fresh fruit flavors, while the reds are aged in oak that never masks, but rather complements, the bold fruit flavors.
