The 2022 Skysill Vineyard Merlot from Walla Walla Valley—its inaugural vintage—comes from the highest block of the estate and delivers a beautifully polished expression of 100% Merlot. Aged for 20 months in French oak (60% new), it opens with a silky, elegant entry and unfolds into rich, layered textures that showcase both depth and finesse. At 14.6% ABV, it strikes a confident balance between power and refinement, earning impressive praise with scores of 96 points from Virginie Boone, 95 from Clive Pursehouse, and 92 from Tim Fish. It’s a wine the team has truly fallen for—and one that’s easy to love.
