Berries & oak on the nose. Beautiful, deep dark burgandy in color. Noted a burst of berries as soon as it hits the palate. Nice mellow oak notes and tannin follow, leaning this toward a drier and yet long finish. This is drinking much better than when we last tasted a few months ago!

Deep dark Rudy red like a good Merlot should be. Black cherry, raspberry jam, and wild flowers to the nose. Sweet black cherry initially toward the front followed by a bit of tart berries and a hint of oak toward the end of the taste. Plenty of tannin and we’ll intergrated acidity. I’m thinking decanting would have softened this tasting. Long finish! Very pleasant wine.

Dark fruit with some earthiness. Fairly light for a Merlot from Alexander valley.
