Way nicer than I remember it. Had a little bite to it on the finish. Really nice.

Drinking beautifully. Sad to hear that Don has closed up shop.

I waited over a year to revisit this and I am so happy with this decision! This has a beautiful flavor - cherries and plums. I’m really happy with where this is right now. Might have to see if Don has more for sale!

I prob should have waited a bit on this one... but what a lovely flavor and finish. This is loaded with dark fruit that will mellow out with some time.

Smuckers grape jelly on the nose - however well structured dark old world fruit.

Delish. Absolutely one of the best Merlots I have tasted. Handmade with love and you can taste it. To enjoy with bathtub, meal, friends, or Netflix and keep all to yourself.
