New world merlot wrapped up tight in a Right Bank corset. What a stunning wine! Either needs a few more years in the bottle, or at least two hours in a decanter. Either way...elegant fruit, dusty dark chocolate, a breath of licorice and herbs, and a warm woody finish.

Their Merlot dominated wines are simply some of the best made in the Valley. Well crafted beautiful wine.

Ahh... Merlot & Cab Franc. My palate is coated with chocolatey tannins. Merlot is sexy.

Always fun drinking with the winemaker of the wine you're drinking.

Chocolate soaked blueberries, dried currant, hints of leather, Turkish tobacco. Dry and bitey w smooth and grippy tannin, round and filling. Like smoking a Camel Turkish Silver! A fave of the night amongst the somms.
