Supple and rich with lingering notes of boysenberry, licorice, mint, and caramel. Medium tannin hold. One of the better California Merlots I’ve had

Well rounded, soft on the palate, slightly fruity up front.

Highly recommended but I found it a bit too tannic. Perhaps this vintage would do well to mature a little longer.
