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

Aromas of black plum and black cherry fruit with
elements of smoke and vanilla along with violets and
red licorice. balanced fl*avors of raspberry and plum
fruit combined with dried sage and sweet herb.
Finishes with notes of wild cherry and tobacco.
