Aromas : Medium ruby in color showing a bouquet of cherry and black tea accented by subtle sweet vanilla French oak and a fetching blueberry compote note. Taste and flavors : The palate is generous and soft on approach, leading with supple cherry fruit and transitioning to richer boysenberry flavors on the mid palate where the medium-firm tannins, caramel , and notes of clove and black pepper come into play. The vintage’s fresh acidity lends structure to this silky expression of Merlot leaving a lingering, savory finish.

Berry-driven and savory, the mid-palate is juicy, generous, and round with soft, supple tannins on the entry that become firmer and more refined on the finish. to lend structure and enhance the wine’s suitability for food pairings.
Enjoy with red meats, duck, and pasta with rich sauces.
