  Light in color, this medium bodied, effort offers oak, coffee and cherry flavors. I'd drink this on the young side.

  Family Winemakers 2011 SF; 8/21/2011-8/22/2011 (San Francisco, Fort Mason): This was the best of thier line up. Solid plum fruit core with a polished medium finish. People at the table seemed to enjoy the cab franc more but I was not as impressed. This and the Paloma were my favorite Merlots of the day.

  Excellent example of what you can do when you want to make a great Merlot. Tasted at the Family Winemakers event in Pasadena and this was hands down, the best Merlot we encountered. Ready now.
