Amelia Mowry, CSW

Followed the 1997 vintage with the newly released 2018 Merlot, the first production in 23 years. Ruby red in color with sweeter smells of dark cherry, vanilla and licorice. Medium body with a smooth, silky texture. Soft and elegant berry palate with a cranberry and boysenberry finish. Very easy to drink for a Merlot.
