Limited Selection Santa Ynez Valley Merlot

Cocoa, tar, concentrated cherry/raspberry, medicinal, fennel, full bodied, candied fruit, tobacco and med acid. A bit overripe for me, but would please the masses. Gift from a great friend, and enjoying with my dad. Thanks Hana!

No need to breathe. Wonderful from the start. Rich and smooth 2016

Smooth, good body & color. My brother knows good wine. Present from him.

Tasted the very newly released 2012 at the Gainey vineyard. Pretty good but needs a little more time.

First stop outside of Santa Barbara
