Tasting Notes

Layered aromas of raspberry, red cherry, pomegranate, plum, brown sugar, and chocolate-covered cranberry open the wine. The palate is supple and silky, with dark chocolate richness, bright acidity, and a long, refined finish.

Food Paring

Serve this supple Merlot with roast duck, pork tenderloin, or mushroom risotto. Its silky texture and ripe fruit also pair beautifully with burgers, tomato-based pasta, and semi-firm cheeses.

Professional Reviews

93 James Suckling

"Aromas of plums, black cherries, dried herbs and spices. The palate is full-bodied with supple tannins, balanced acidity and a smooth, generous finish."

91 Wine Enthusiast

"The nose of this wine leads with punchy aromas of boysenberry preserves, roasted cherry, leather, and black pepper. The palate brings lavish tannin and balanced acid, with flavors of black plum, fresh raspberry, minty herbs, and cut flowers lingering for a minute."
