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.

Wine Tasting NotesDeep, rich shades of blackberry. Truffle, mocha and cherry with a hint of clove and peppermint. Bright red fruits with cherry and violet notes. A full bodied Merlot with rich fruit, supple tannins and great persistence.

An appealing wine that exhibits an array of ripe berry flavors, and which will also continue to age gracefully for many years. Broad nose of mocha, black cherry, and plum with hints of black licorice. Filled with bright concentrated flavors of ripe dark fruit with overtones of allspice.
