November 28, 2016 - This 100% merlot was sourced from Oakville. It is dark blackish garnet and purple colored, medium to full bodied, refined, polished and elegant, bursting with floral perfume and sweet candied red and black fruits, accented by flavors of cola, dark cherry and hints of cocoa and vanilla, almost approaching caramel. Winemaker Kirk Venge compares this wine to a fine Pomerol (right bank Merlot based Bordeaux). This is silky and seamlessly balanced and structured turning to ripe tannin, modest acidity and rich texture on a lingering polished finish.
