Purple and opaque with transparent purple edge. The nose is understated and lacks the floral notes that I commonly associate with Merlot. Present on the nose are soft cranberries and heat. The palate is superb and unexpected given the nose. The palate is alive is blueberries, sour cherries, tart tannins, Tuscan style minerality, white pepper and pleasing acidity. The minerality lingers. This wine is clearly a baby and could use more than 2 hours to breath. 5+12+16+8=91
Wrote the note and tried the wine with a goats milk cheese and wow. That looks too understated. Let's go with WOW. 5+12+18+8=93
