Solid Merlot showing typicity of varietal and region. Holding in well for the age but time to drink up.

Dark cherry and hints of spice on the nose. A mild finish with a bit of acid. Very nice with food.

Medium color with some transparency and garnet color. Light body with noticeable tartness and acid on finish. Body and taste improved with food but tart finish is still there. Light sour cherry notes with light to medium complexity.
