Cab drinkers Merlot for sure. Full, pleasing and round, this wine begs to be consumed l. The first sip was as pleasing as the last. Smooth drinking and soft without being wimpy or devoid of character.

Aromas of menthol, blackberry jam and spice. Noticeable tannin for a merlot.

2010 merlot. Very ripe and a significant, but pleasing influence of oak. Round and soft in the mouth.
