Very dark purple in color. Also deep and rich in texture. Blackberry with some notes of earthiness and vanilla. Tannins provide great support without intrusion.

Very good with Turkey (leftover) Tikka Massala. Fantastic dish that was spicy but thsi wine worked well with it. Still good fruit and body. Good finish. On its own after dinner it was also very good. Spicy food not the very best choice but it worked.

Nicely structured tannins with dark rasberry and tobacco notes. Certainly can benefit from decanting, or plan to open the bottle for a few hours. Suggest to cellar for few more years to soften or pair with higher fat foods.

Merlot predominent Bordeaux blend, tabacco nose, palate of dark berries, mint, mild oak, more tannins than I’d expect. I’ll hold the next bottle for 2-3 years to soften up.

About as good as it gets for American Merlot. Great for something to pop during a weekday that you can just enjoy and doesn’t require food.
