Mind blowing small production Pomerol style Merlot that will convert a CabSauv drinker. Big fuller style body with tannin, dry plum skins. Mild earthiness. If you think of Merlot as the varietal that made Blackstone famous then this will change your mind and begin your journey to Pomerol.

A young one! Good stuffing, smooth finish. Would be good to go for early drinking (like all 2016’s)

This is like drinking a light cab. Soooo much better than a typical Merlot. Not jammy...
