Complex nose. Robust on the palate. Needs some time in the bottle.

Hedonistic Merlot. But still Merlot. Well done.

Favorite Merlot. Fruit and sage on nose. Black raspberry, warm spice, dark chocolate. Lively mid palate with finish like sourdough toast.

Fruit, spice, candy nose. Black cherry and toast, with substantial tannins with a little green edge. Long plush finish.

Crunchy purple and blue fruits with solid acidity and tannins and satisfying finish. Needs a good decant or a bit more cellar time.

Nice Merlot which I typically don't like. Unfortunately I like the Merlot better than the cab
