Deep burgundy, almost opaque. Ripe plum, chocolate, espresso on the nose. Really opened up in the glass. This was a big, mature Merlot. Rich and dense, still with some grip.

Deep purple color with a nice scent of blueberry on the nose. This is not your typical Cali fruit bomb merlot. It has a fair amount of structure and some drier tannins that would benefit from a few hours in the decanter. the wine still has plenty of juicy fruit and a medium to long finish. Enjoy!!!

Much more tannic than we expected. Opened up after about 45 minutes. Chocolate/espresso on the nose. Great value.
