Reminiscent of cherry pipe tobacco, blackberry, tar and wet leather on the nose, the 2019 Merlot exudes flavors of star anise, currant, dried cranberry, smoked cedar & blueberry pie all wrapped in firm approachable tannins.
Indicative of the cooler temperatures from the 2020 vintage, this wine is medium bodied with moderate tannins & nuanced notes of tart cherry, boysenberry, gravel, anise, pine needles & dry earthy tones.
