My dinner companions only drink white wine so I was very happy to see a half bottle of this on the list for me! Rich fruit profile with flavors of blueberry, vanilla, baking spice. Hints of chocolate. Silky smooth texture and a finish that goes on and on.

Mar 7th, 2018I love Bob's style of winemaking across the board, but especially his Merlots (Switchback, Pride, Hourglass, and his own label is no exception). This one is Big, bold, very fruit-forward with pronounced oak (but not overpowering) and fairly strong tannins. This is still a baby and made me understand what they mean by a "Cab lover's Merlot".

Raspberries, red cherries, chocolate, and hints of cinnamon and vanilla. Medium bodied and beautifully balanced.

One of my favorite Merlots. The 2012 vintage is very fruit forward and has a nice finish. Drinking well now but definitely will improve with age. Opened on June 23, 2016.
