Deep purple, Ruby appearance. Water rim. Medium intensity with aromas of black cherry, red plum with hint of spice. Medium tanins with high acidity, and medium body. Short finish. This wine is recommended to be drank by 2018. The 3 additional years has impacted the fruit intensity and length on the palate.
86% Merlot, 10% Cab, 3% Malbec, 1% Cab Franc

Classically composed, this is savory, big bodied, and dark fruited, with black cherry and integrated oak aromas. Possesses nice tannic structure and an ashy char note that complements juicy, blackberry flavors. A very good California Merlot.

2013 - cork clear at tip but can see that it is splitting. Cork came out without problems. Cork does not indicate vintage.

Just opened our last bottle that was kept in wine refrigerator. Great color. Great aroma and nice berry finish for this older wine.

Consumed this late in its life and found it to be smooth and with hints of dark berries.
