Red licorice, ganache, cedar, barnyard and forest floor.

At the peak. Drink them if you’ve got them.

Flight delayed and stuck in DTW. This was a very nice consolation. So good. @Ron R you’re the man.

I really liked this. I liked the 2015 more. The 2015 had a touch of funk and structure this didn’t quite have, but that’s only in comparison. We still loved this. Thanks again @Ron R.

Thanks for the recommendation @Ron R ! This is fantastic. The nose is kirsch, tobacco, and cigar box cedar. The nose really surprised me. Great mouthfeel, supple but not simple like some Merlots. Chocolate covered cherries with some raspberry. Where have you been all my life Pride Merlot? Seeking out Plumpjack next Ron.

Still has very good color with a bright, big and bold nose. Mature with notes of cedar and forest. Just 150 cases produced and I still have one more left in my cellar. Can’t wait to open the last one sometime soon

This is a delicious merlot . Dark fruit, earth and chewy. Great structure and finish.. it made my tong tingle. One of the best merlots I’ve ever had
