2017 Merlot
Price: $23.00
|
A cool 2017 spring evolved to heat, followed by a hot summer, developed smaller berries and clusters with moderate yields. This set the stage for beautiful Merlot character.
Rich, dark fruit jumps out of the glass while pouring. Black cherry and plum dominate the nose accompanied by black currant/cassis with hints of anise, dark chocolate, orchid and sweet sandalwood spice. Brighter than anticipated fruit with a silky plushness delivers black cherry and delicious raspberry to the palate. Hints of dark roast coffee beans and a lengthy, light toast oak finish with dark fruit culminate the experience. - Chuck Reininger, Winemaker
