Soft, layered wine with beautiful mature fruit, touch of eucalyptus and pencil lead notes initially up front. After about 30 minutes the soft cherry floods forward over the underlying but distinct tannin. Really mice finish. Drink it now... It is a treat.

Very robust for a merlot, very structured and not very fruit forward.

This vintaged taste is almost same direction as Pinot noir', I felt. Complicated flavor. A bit over peak. But, CA vintage wine is also really interesting. @1500/g, FLV, 170310

This was a nice surprise. Light and very approachable. A low alcohol content. A very clear expression of fruit. Thanks Will B. for another nice wine.
