One of my favorite merlot wines ever. Last bottle, 10 years old. An amazing nose of a basket of berries in the sun at a picnic table in a redwood grove with freshly cut grass nearby. It smells divine. There’s also a baking spice berry pie element but acidity is prominent. Palate is just wonderful berry bramble and more baking spice, good tannin, a hint of dried fruit but this is tasting fresh still. What a wine!! Wish they didn’t make 47 different wines each year and focused on stuff like this.
