Martin Redmond Likes this wine: 89 points
October 8, 2020 - Translucent ruby color with black cherry, black currant, plum, violets, sandalwood and dried herb aromas. On the palate it's medium-bodied with well-integrateds fine-grained tannins, balanced acidity and a supple mouthfeel with delicious black cherry, black currant, plum, vanilla and dark chocolate flavors. It's field blend (the grapes are grown, harvested and fermented together) of 87% Merlot and 13% Malbec from their Dakine estate vineyard located in the Russian River Valley. The vineyard was planted in 1988 with budwood obtained from the famous"Three Palms" Merlot Vineyard in the Napa Valley. Raised in French Oak for 24 months. 14.5% abv|$SRP - $39
