made entirely with merlot, this full-bodied wine opens with aromas of ripe berry, coffee, vanilla, exotic spice and a whiff of grilled herb. the concentrated palate doles out fleshy black cherries, juicy raspberries licorice, chocolate and tobacco, while velvety tannins provide the framework. a note of dried sage closes the finish. it's already approachable but will continue to age well for several years or more. drink through 2023.
