Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Family-owned and operated since 1985, from a small, 30-acre plot of grapes to the present 20 estate vineyards, Don and Rhonda Carano's success is based on their commitment to quality. Tried this about a test ago, consistent notes. Dark fruit aromas with cedar and spice notes. On the palate, Blueberry and Plum flavors, a bit jammy, with espresso and cacao tones. Medium body, soft tannins, nice balance on lingering finish. Great value!

Run-of-the-mill merlot. Teeth-staining red, looks to be lightly filtered with lots of particulates. Bland and ordinary.
