Best Merlot was never ripped out, so natural selection of best sites.
Fleshy red fruits with balsamic retronasal.
Fine tea like tannin

For me this was a disappointing Merlot. Very bitter tannins took over the palate. I am not getting any fruity or floral notes. I don’t mind tannins at all but there was no smoothness. Jut a long bitter finish. The cork seems fine but I may have a bad bottle I can’t finish my glass.

I love it when domestic Merlots stretch beyond their simple grapes and take on complexities of their own characteristics. Lovely medium-full body contains the boisterous fruit, and wisps of flint, earth, and anise.
