Tons of tannin to balance out the fruit. Awesome Merlot despite vintage challenges. Been a wine club member over 10 years- this crew seldom disappoints!

Cherry nose. Tight with cherry notes and raspberry on the tongue but the fruit has trouble competing with the acidity. I feel like this wine should age longer or breathe longer.

May 25th, 2015Hard to evaluate while eating spicy homemade tacos. The nose was sweet and fresh. Initially the tannins were forward but well balanced by blackberry and vanilla. It's a very full, rich, and interesting wine. The finish is not long and the tannins dominate. It went really well with spicy tacos and really amplified the flavors of the food. Doesn't need to decant long. Christmas Eve dinner.
