This is a merlot! Drinks beautifully so flavorful with a wonderful smokey mid palate flavor and a finish that's long lasting, a little pepper on nose but not spicy!

Large stewed fruit. Dark plums, bazooka gum and spices strong tannins with a lingering finish

Wow! What an amazing Merlot. Blackberry, hint of tobacco, vanilla, and coffee notes. All the more the reason to love Merlot.

Going to macauley, hunnicutt, b cellars tomorrow. Thought we would try venge tonight to round it out. I don't have them next to me but think it's like a blend of the 2013 (structure) and 2014 (fruit)

This is a nice drinking merlot. A testament to its quality it was given complements from a cab snob. This is smooth and elegant with several different attributes. Plums, and raspberries and tobacco were some of the highlights for me. I liked the finish of this one.
