This was spectacular. Terrific balance; full-bodied and like velvet in the mouth, without feeling heavy in any way. The purity and depth of the fruit is fantastic. Truly, one of the best merlots I’ve ever had.

Not surprising given the winery, but this is a big fruit forward wine but with the softness you expect from a Merlot.
