Sonoma County, CA- A lovely Merlot that has aromas of plum, cedar, and notes of baking spices. Layers of fresh strawberries and raspberries saturate the palate. The finish is soft and smooth with well-integrated tannins providing very nice structure.
This lush and inviting Merlot displays enticing berry and cassis aromas, underscored by French oak-inspired notes. The layers of luxurious fruit continue on the palate, where lively acidity adds poise and structure, and silky tannins carry the wine to a long, juicy finish.
