Nice red and blue fruit. Merlot usually has a warmer climate red fruit backbone but this one was a little darker front to back. Nose of brambly wildflower and vanilla spice cake. Entry is really quite similar to the nose with a nice acidic character throughout. Faint cinnamon and clove notes. Finishes with a full bodied mouthfeel. Tannins are softening. Youthful oak here. Nice Merlot and definitely will seek out future vintages. Drink now with minimal decant required at this point.
