Sunstone Vineyards and Winery
Eros Santa Ynez Valley Merlot Blend
Santa Ynez Valley, Central Coast, California, USA
This was outstanding!!! Tasting great at 10 years old. Leather, dark fruits, a touch of wood, good tannin, long lingering finish. Wish I had another bottle or two.

Jul 19th, 2020I like the merlot dominant blend better in the 2016 than 2015. Anti-sideways! Much more silky tannins, grapes, plums, herbs.

Apr 18th, 2019Beautifully crafted, smooth wine. Well balanced, with aromas of dark fruit, vanilla lightly toasted oak, tobacco. Would buy again.
