  Very nicely surprised with this Merlot. Blended with a little Cab and Petite Verdot, it is rich and layered on the palate. A bit chewy, but in a positive manner. Good oak integration with soft vanilla and spice notes on the lasting finish. Recommended.

  Lush fruit without too much tannin, but lots of depth and personality. Perhaps easily overpowered with food, so stick to lighter fare if pairing with food.

  Really enjoyed this wine! Dark garnet in the glass ... beautiful color. Dark fruit (plums, blackberries, blueberries) on the nose and palate. Great balance of fruit, tannins and acidity.
