Oh yes, Mark Ryan! Keep up the good work. Cab drinkers merlot here. Plenty of depth, red fruited and spiced, oh and floral. Feels good.

Tannin forward with moderate sediment already. Cigars and soil at first then transforms into cassis and dark cherry. A bolder merlot

Drinking really well now but think it could hold for another 3-5 years.
very merlot dominant but very smooth. dark berries, plum and some earth to it.
not heavy at all throughout the sip. has structure / balance and full mouth feel.
would buy another bottle and curious about other vintages, if any. Good buy at around $50

Big firm tannins, oak still evident over cherries and almonds.
Still very young
