The 2018 Merlot (there's a splash of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon) has a lively, attractive nose of ripe blue and black fruits as well as plenty of chocolate and leafy herb-like nuances. Medium to full-bodied, nicely textured, and balanced, this is a rock-solid, undeniably delicious Merlot that's going to drink well for 5-7 years or so.

Rich and well-structured flavors of dark plum and cherry tart are backed by fresh acidity. Dark chocolate and wild spice notes come in on the ripe finish. Drink now through 2023. 887 cases made.
