Perfect for International Merlot Day on 11/7/2017. Dark ruby red with some garnet too. Integrated nose with some savory elements, pepper, toasty, and dried berries. A touch of cinnamon too. Well integrated medium tannins (6/10) and medium to medium plus body. Layered palate with blackberries, a touch savory, earthy, dark cocoa, dark berries and a little gravel. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2025.

One of my favorite Merlots. Full bodied with smooth finish. Very little tannin.

2012 vintage- nice pepper/oak/fruit on the nose and great firm structure. Could bottle age or drink now. Would love to try it in another couple years.

A spicy, full bodied red with noticeable notes of plum. A very nice, versatile red.

Jammy but with restraint. Beautiful structure and mouthfeel. A solid WA merlot.
