Notes from the Winemaker
Rich and complex, with ample fruit flavors. Aromas of chocolate-covered raspberries, pomegranate, spice, and tobacco dance along the rim with a swirl. This Merlot’s balanced earthy notes are complimented with silky smooth integrated tannins to create a well-rounded long viscous finish on the palate.
Composition
100% Merlot
Production Notes
2017 is a splendid vintage, giving us vibrant wines that continue to please wine lovers. This wine endured long cold fermentations to help retain the fruit flavors and aged in the barrel for 36 months.
