91 POINTS: This wine comes across as sweet with menthol and eucalyptus notes. Then, that sweetness retreats with a day of air, the flavors turning toward red cherry and kirschwasser with some menthol and dark chocolate in the end. It feels refreshingly brisk, clean and elegant. —Joshua Greene (907 cases)
Darker ruby in the glass with cedar spice and black tea aromas. Flavors of black raspberries along with an amazing pop of cedar combine with smooth tannins and juicy acidity
”The 2018 Merlot is bright, fresh and floral, all of which make it extremely appealing to drink now. Readers will find a mid-weight, refined Merlot full of charm. Crushed red berry fruit, spice and floral notes linger nicely.”--Antonio Galloni
Full bodied, yet graceful and smooth on the palate, this wine is delicious now but will show well for years to come. Characterized by black, brambly fruit, pepper and warm spices.
