Description
Deep shades of reds and purples present in this single-vineyard Merlot. Aromas of black cherry and black plum combine w a thread of raspberry and mocha and a hint of vanillin extract. Flavors of black plum persist with fresh raspberry coupled with mocha and elegant toasted oak. This is a gracefully structured wine of fine texture and terrific length.
