2016 Merlot
In Stock
From the rocky east side of the Santa Ynez Valley comes this exquisite Merlot. Aged for 3 years in neutral French and seasoned American oak to highlight its true character. Deep aromas of blackberry, plum and dark cherry, along with blue smoke, chocolate, vanilla and black olive. Generous fruit leads the way packed with blackberry, boysenberry, and currant, that give way to an intense core filled with dark chocolate, fruit leather, juicy cherry and allspice, finishing long, with rich elegant tannins. 200 cases produced
