Very nice LI Merlot. Dark Cherry and Vanilla aromas and flavors. Medium bodied and smooth. Great with chocolate truffles. Tasted this one again on 9/1/18. Thanks Tom Makris.

For the bottom end of the price bracket for this vineyard, this is a surprisingly high quality bottle. Very textbook merlot through and through, and whether or not that's a good thing is up to you.

Merlot presents cherry flavors with vanilla up front. Upon second taste, peppery!
