A supple, refined Merlot with depth and vibrancy. Aromas of black cherry, plum, and violets mingle with hints of cocoa, tobacco, and dried herbs. On the palate, it’s ripe but not jammy, with flavors of dark fruit, espresso, and a touch of graphite. The wine’s balance and earthy, savory undertones set it apart from richer, fruit-forward California Merlots. Well structured for another 5-8 years of drinking window.
