Smooth, great taste. Paired well with a filet and poultry. Very good wine to pair with a variety of foods. Drank in October 2023

Having a few years in the bottle makes a difference and this could go more. Dark fruit and dusty. Still a solid choice.

Still a great Merlot but lots of dark fruit and feels alcoholic/hangover inducing. Their wines recently need to sit much longer than in the past.

Still very young. Cherry cough syrup on the nose. Not super pleasant. Headache inducing from one glass. Needs to age more.
