Fresh, bright and approachable like so many of the '11s. Blue fruit abounds.

Not necessarily my wheelhouse but this is a super sultry and tactile Merlot blend. Velvety tannins, cherry pie filling, some mineral undertone, and fine acidity. I suspect this will age well for 5-10 years.

Just the right amount of prototypical Merlot dirt on the palate balanced by a spicy finish. Beautifully made.

15.2% merlot. Surprised by a slightly green, floral nose.

Despite being 2011, one of the best Merlots I've ever had. Up there with Pride and Paloma.
