Carneros Merlot! Brilliant idea. :)

Lean and fruity with a punch. Needs some time to mellow out, but loaded with promise.

So glad I waited on one of these bottles. This is just perfect right now. I’d love to taste this beside some merlot from Bordeaux. Pencil shavings, cherries but with some darker fruits, hint of cocoa, dried herbs, and perfect balanced tannin/acidity. Would love to get some more bottles.

Loving this right now. Beautiful fresh berry, with some light pepper, great balance of acidity. Thank you Jason! Can't wait to follow your wines over the coming years!
