Made from purchased fruit from Bacchus vineyard red plum and cherry fruit with milk chocolate and fine herbs. Smooth and velvety texture with nice freshness. Notes of tobacco spice and milk chocolate. Finish 35+ very good

I consider this a more full bodied wine. Typically a Cab drinker but this Merlot was quite good. Strong plum and cranberry flavors with a bit of a peppery finish. Alcohol content seems high with half glass consumed! Surprised that I am enjoying this one as much as I am.

Nice cherry vanilla nose. Nice acid tap on the tongue. Carries the slight cherry with it. Like it.

Subdued nose - slight cherry. Nice bright, broad across the mouth - equal tannins. Pick up the cherry on the exit.

Incredible butter, butterscotch, caramel nose - amazing. Very light berries on the tongue, backs off at end. Not a strong red, but very good!!!
