Not too fond of most merlots but this one is excellent. Love the tannins and associated long finish. Rich flavors but still goes well with milder foods particularly if consumed with some salt included in the foods. Perhaps not too appealing to those who are not fond of tannins, but for me is great.

Much better than a bottle we had a year or two ago. Very pleasant nose and impressive attack with good balance of tannins. The finish was more than adequate and a smooth transition between stages.

Just tasted at the vineyard (11/2020) and has improved in body and finish versus 2y ago. I think it has further potential.
