Drank when Sam’s parents were in town. Blackberry on the nose. Fresh dark fruits. Needs a minute to breathe. A little sharp immediately upon opening. More tannins than I would have expected from a Merlot. But eventually opens up after an hour with a beautiful velvety mouthfeel. Plenty of time to let it keep aging.

Perfect Christmas dinner wine. First sip right out of the bottle was a little tight. Strong cherry flavor. Maybe a little plum. Dark in color. Amazing wine. Then let it decant for an hour and there’s not much better wine out there. Concentrated fruit, smooth, and perfectly balanced.

Drank on anniversary. Delicious. Extremely smooth. Strong fruit smell and flavor. Lots of plum or blackberry. Velvety mouthfeel.

Best merlot we’ve ever had. Tasted like semi-aged Napa cab
