December 1, 2012 - Very well made Merlot. Glad I held out this long to drink! Nose has a nice balance of cherry, oak and leather. The palate presents dark cherry with some smokiness and some berry fruit, a nice overall structure. Finish is moderate and balanced with no overwhelming tannins or acidity. Drinking perfectly now.
