I was surprised by this wine. Honestly l, I've never heard of Bill Hill or Prime Solum. I was pleasantly surprised. Intense red and black fruits with notes of cedar box tobacco.

Feb 9th, 2017This is actually the 2013 Prime Solum Broken Rock Vineyard Merlot.
Super small production out of the Broken Rock Vineyard in Atlas Peak, only 38 cases produced. Deep garnet red. Tied up nose with just notes of stewed black berries and cherries with cinnamon undertones. A bit earthy on the palate with dark crushed gravel layered with black cherries, dark cocoa and a touch savory. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and medium bodied. Tons of acidity and structure. Long finish. Drink till 2024.

Tasty. Fruit sweet entry, then softly pleasant through to a balanced finish.
