What to Expect

Merlot has gotten a bad rap as of late but there is no denying the wine's appeal. Packed with deep, dark berry fruit and nuanced hints of cocoa, herb and earth with a soft structure. Its velvety texture makes Merlot instantly appealing and an obvious alternative to similar, more tannic Bordeaux varieties.

Winemakers Notes

Merlot from this vineyard typically has a bright fruit character of cranberries and currents along with a warm woodsy character. This wine also has rich plum, orange rind, and roasted coffee aromas and flavors that are nicely supported by supple tannins into a lingering finish.

A little dry--I expect more fruit flavor from a merlot.
