Berry flavors with hints of tea and maybe a little tobacco flavor. Nice finish.

Beautiful wine. Ripe strawberry, blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry with dark chocolate, smoke, toast, and tiny hints of violets, lavender, and wet leaves.

You know, this reminds me what Merlot can be all about. No polished, soft, saggy fruit drink here - this has texture and tannin and licorice and herbs. Classic (in the historic sense) Cali Merlot.

Long ago I sold this wine. The aromas/flavors resonate strongly with those older versions. Undercurrent of fresh herb to go with the floral black cherry tastes.

Ruby red. Medium. Dense red berry nose. Fruity merlot. Tobacco. Very smooth. Nice bottle for the value.

Blue and red berries, hints of dark chocolate, smooth finish. Usually not a Merlot fan, but I really like this one
