A vibrant expression from an exceptional vintage, our 2018 Merlot showcases a stunning dark crimson color. On the nose, the Merlot opens with aromatics of dark cherry and chocolate that blend with earthy tones, graphite, and black tea. The dark cherry core continues on the palate, complemented by dark fruit flavors and a velvet texture. The wine demonstrates an elegant balance between soft tannin and bright acid, with lingering chocolate notes on the lengthy finish.
