You Are Here:
The wine's perfect marriage of ripe fruit and French oak barrels creates a bouquet of cherry and black berries with hints of cedar and spice. In the mouth this Merlot has a generous, soft, smooth texture that hugs your tongue and the flavors linger in your mouth for a long, long time. This is a Merlot that will gain in complexity and silkiness with age.
Tasting Notes:
Somewhere between medium and dark ruby in color, this wine has an compelling, earthy nose of tobacco, wet earth, and dark plum aromas. In the mouth it offers smooth textured flavors of plum, earth, and a core of stony minerality that plays off against a nicely restrained hint of oak. The acid levels are good and the tannins are restrained to the point of being nearly imperceptible. A well put together package that lingers on the palate and suggests another sip. Likely to drink very well for the next few years, wines like this prove the idiocy of the anti-merlot backlash.
