Really good. A little sweet for a merlot, which was a pleasant surprise. Smells nice, tastes smooth. Can definitely taste the berries and oak (2012)

Decent. Still a little thin for my tastes and a little drier than I prefer but full flavored.

Big nose black fruit, alcohol, tobacco. Vanilla, oak, dried plums. Good, not great. Maybe overly oaked? I can't put my finger on it.

Grapes sourced from both California and Oregon, deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits and herb spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and ripe strawberry with spice, cacao and leafy herb notes. Firm tannins, medium finish ending with earthy spice character. Drink now, no aging benefit.

Very very smooth wine. Nice finish and the perfect combination of slightly dry and fruity that doesn't leave your mouth desperate for water.

Notes of plums, currants and anise with lively flavors of blueberry and cherries. Pairs well with beef, lamb chops or or aged cheese.

Medium body, a tiny bit spicy on the back end. Lots of plumbs, maybe some blueberry.
