This powerhouse Merlot draws you in with striking aromas of ripe raspberry, red currant, and a hint of vanilla. The palate offers a rich sweetness of fruit, pleasantly viscous with an array of ripe fruit flavors. The tannins are refined and gentle, perfectly balanced out with bright acidity, and lead to an incredibly long finish that rivals any Cabernet Sauvignon. Bob Foley is the winemaker. 1071 cases of 750.

A rich, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with captivating aromas of blackberry black cherry and dark currant. These flavors continue onto the palate with just a trace of cocoa vanilla and deliver a mouth-coating explosion of flavor! The tannins are abundant, yet chewy and ripe, and resolve in a long, elegant finish. 689 cases of 750ml, 24 cases of 1.5L. Notes from Switchback Ridge. Will benefit from additional 5-7 years of bottle age also 2-4 hours in a decanter
