Violets and jasmine offset vanilla, iron, blackberry and herbaceous notes. Deep color, rich body, high alcohol, and solid structure make it easy to pair with food or sip and savor.

Deep red, well balanced-medium body wine. Fruit forward with hints of red fruit and a finish of leather and herb. Love this wine!

Deep color, balanced structure; hints of leather and savory meats, complement herbaceous, earthy notes. A beautiful wine to drink now or lay down for a few years.

2018 vintage is intensely smooth, almost velvety in texture, and remarkably full-bodied. Full of black and red fruits and a finish of delicate tannins. This wine will make you say “wow.”

Earthy, forest floor and subtle tannins give way to a rounded pallet of black and red fruits. Drinks incredible now; can’t wait to see how it will present in a few years.

This merlot is silky and earthy, and includes delicious spices. A hint of strawberry peaks through as well, giving this wine a nice finish.

Silky and rich notes of bergamot, apple cider spice, and over ripe strawberries

Earthy, rather minty nose. Very distinctive, really like it. Solid carry through on the pallet.

Wow! This wine will truly make you love Merlot. Subtle in its impact, it will accompany any food or delicious to be enjoyed on its own. Tasting so great right now.
