  From coravin - dark, rich, nice amount of oak, baking spice, dark fruit and tannin while not overpowering. Long finish. Awesome glass 4.5

  Nice dark cherry, plum and black raspberry fruit on the palate followed by cocoa powder on the finish. Medium body, with medium depth and concentration. Decent mouthfeel. Finishes with nice tannins. Fairly straightforward in terms of complexity. Very good.

  Nice California Merlot. Velvety with dark cherry and good acid. Improved with time after opened. I expect that will be better with a few more years.

  Jen opened a bottle on Nov. 11, 2022 and thought it was very good but would be better if aged some more. Also, allow extra breathing time after we open the bottle.

  A great Napa Merlot, well balanced but still smooth and fruit forward. Full tannins and higher alcohol kept this in balance nicely.
