Top Notes For
Santa Ynez Valley, Central Coast, California, USA
Not a big fan. It's current release 2022 but a huge miss. The overwhelming profile is an herbal taste of thyme. Very odd for a Merlot. Nice fruit profile and tannins could use a yr or two. I'll need to give the next bottle a few years.
