Pretty solid restaurant list #merlot blend. I wasn’t thrilled with the big vanilla load up front but it has some nice acidity and depth with soft tannins on the finish. The winemaker blended in some Cab Franc and Cabernet which yielded a touch of spice and interest - paired well with a NY strip steak and peppercorn sauce.
