Such a shame I couldn't rate this higher. This would be such a nice value merlot blend. Soft in tannins, fruity, medium bodied. But enjoying just a small glass on various occasions resulted in the absolute worst of headaches.🙁

Didn't like at first but after giving it the opportunity to breathe it is quite tasty. Not overly dry.

Balanced, restrained and delicious. A touch of oak, a smattering of cherry, a light dollop of chocolate, with just a smidgen of acidity in the finish.

Dark ruby hue with medium-high saturation. Aromas and flavors of blackcurrant, cherry, espresso, mocha, oak, sage, smoke, toast, and vanilla. Medium-full body; medium (but firm) tannins; and medium acidity. Inviting complexity on the nose, with silky depth and richness on the palate. 88% Sonoma County and 12% Napa County. Rounds out after decanting for 45 minutes to an hour.
