Tannic, dry. Lamb, bacon, hibiscus 🌺. A wine made to age the acidity is bold.

Merlot round table: an example of Napa Merlot beefed up with Cab & PV. Great texture (polished and velvety) with nicely developed secondary notes. One of Napa' best Merlots.

Dark purple still full of black fruits but with soft luscious tannins.

Double decant and pour (decent sediment). A formidable dark garnet color with some bricking. On the nose: very aromatic nose of dark plum, green vegi, leather, sandlewood, menthol, wet forest floor. Taste: soft, rich, medium body wine with dark plum, tobacco, smoke, minerals, and a very dry spicy minty mocha medium plus finish.
