First taste of the day is spectacular. Classic Merlot that I would've blinded Bordeaux. Chalky finish with ripe, black fruit and notes of cocoa powder and espresso. Freaking delicious.

Primarily Merlot. Loaded with ripe cherries, red currants. One wants for a little more oomph on the finish as the tannins a quite fine, but they are all up front.

Tasting at winery 9/18/22 prior to BD dinner. Their Bordeaux like Toscana. Very balanced and attractive with lively palate. Mary’s fav!
