Mark Ryan Winery 'Little Sister' Merlot 2021 Review

Mark Ryan loves rock 'n' roll and wine. He began his wine career out of his garage like any garage-band worth their salt. Today he is one of the premier winemakers in Washington State. Keeping true to his rock roots you'll find some fun nods to the grunge era and beyond on his labels. This Merlot came on board in 2015 and is consistent with the success of the existing line up. The palate is focused and succinct, but with a concentrated depth and a meaningful finish that keeps you thinking about what you just sipped.
