nice merlot - fruit forward with medium-high, drying tannins on the finish that even as a 2015 may still be a bit young. A touch more acid would have helped. Oak is nicely balanced.

Inky, deep dark copious quantities of red & black fruit, some cocoa & vanilla - but this was all business, regal, balanced, self-assured w/long life ahead
