Winemaker Comments:
This delicious Merlot presents a wonderful bouquet of maraschino cherry, cassis and floral spices. On the palate, the wine is full of succulent fruit that is framed by tannins that are very well rounded and soft. A spicy undertone of complexity rounds out the mouthfeel with earthy, dusty elements that speak to the Dry Creek Valley appellation. This wine shows off its regional complexity and is true to the varietal character. It is distinctive and full-bodied with a seamless, lingering finish.
