2017 Merlot
Tasting notes
Raspberry, chocolate covered cherries, and burnt caramel on the nose, lead to a well-integrated palate of dark fruits, strong tannins, and a touch of anise.
Aged for 18 months in new and used French Oak.

A mildly wet start to the 2017 growing season gave way to a moderate summer with little humidity and minimal amounts of rainfall. The Merlot was picked early in the growing season, having reached optimal levels of ripeness in September.
