Fruit forward, very smooth, alcohol present but not over powering. Bouquet of cherries, strawberries, and other stone fruits. Strong from start to finish. Not a complex flavor profile, and a great example of California Merlot.

A merlot bottling that I found enjoyable. Left it in a glass on the side during the tasting to see how it develops. Already in pretty good stage. Nice on the black cherry, developing the mohca and additional earthy notes. Seems to be built for longer period. Medium finish. Nice work. I would certainly revisit this one in the future. But, there is no real reason to avoid opening one now if you have few available in your cellar. ~92

A very nice big, bold merlot. Drinking nicely but not at all near the end of it’s window. Enjoy!
