As usual, Ty's merlot rewards cellaring.

Nose has that merlot green. Maybe some raspberries as it aerates. Big raspberry fruit. Hint of heat in the finish. 15.1%

Sexy wine. Dark cherry on the nose. A bit of spice and cocoa. Well rounded and ready to drink.

Not as fruity as many Merlots. Still, easy drinking on a Thursday with chili.
