One of the most amazing wines that I've ever enjoyed. I can't believe that it's keep the same flavor appeal as when I purchased this 2 years ago wine tasting. I want to experience this again!

Like all Tobin James, big bold ripe fruit, soft tannin, jammy notes on the mid-palate.

Buttery, not for me. I liked it at first but didn't want it after 1 glass

One of the few CA merlots that I like. Reminds me more of a WA merlot with its complexity. Fruit and chocolate come through.
