Im not sure the previous reviewer has had many Merlots lately lol but i got alot of flavors out of this wine and none being a chalk infested eraser! It has notes of dried cherries, berries and a bit of spice and cinnamon on the palate.

Wine Tasting NotesOur Merlot has a rich bouquet of plum, cedar and lush notes of cherry which give way to flavors of dried cherries, berries and a bit of spice. A mouthfilling and full-flavored wine with medium, soft tannins followed by a lingering finish with hints of vanilla. Pair with pork or lamb, or lay down for additional aging time.

Wine Tasting NotesOur Merlot features aromas of ripe black cherries, berries and a fruit forward palate of black fruit, cocoa and brown sugar/cinnamon spice. The addition Cabernet Franc creates depth in the wine's structure that carries through to a long finish.

Winemaker's Notes:

At first swirl, this delicious wine presents enticing aromas of fig, wild berry, cassis and chocolate nuances. On the palate, this Merlot is full of ripe cherry flavors. A spicy undertone of complexity rounds out the mouthfeel with earthy, dusty tannins that are fine grained and well defined. This wine shows off its regional complexity and is true to the varietal character. Succulent, rich and showing remarkable depth, this concentrated Merlot finishes with seamless balance and finesse.
