This is no wimpy merlot. It's dark, dense, and dusty, strutting its stuff with warm climate black fruit, bitter chocolate overtones, baking spices, Rutherford dust terroir, and a lingering finish. This merlot really wants to be its big brother, the Bosché Cabernet Sauvignon.

Very good Rutherford Merlot. Dark cherries and berries with red plum. Classic Rutherford dustiness.

Excellent merlot, elegant cherry and berry fruit, clean through the center and a lightly spiced finish. The 2014 so could easily sit a bit longer.
