This gorgeous wine displays intense aromas of ripe cherry, followed by more nuanced elements of cedar, sweet spices, orange peel and cigar box. On the palate, layers of black raspberry and spiced plum mingle with more savory notes of nutmeg and pencil lead. With firm, well-integrated tannins that extend the finish, this beautifully structured Merlot also promises great ageability.

Solidly built, with a lively, focused core and aromas of dark berry and spice mixed with sleek flavors of cherry and licorice.

From a range of sites, including the producer's own Three Palms Vineyard, this wine is muted in spiced plum and a trace of gunpowder, as well as dried herb and mountaintop cedar. Dense and generous in tannin, it's soft and potently round.
