Cinnamon-covered roses and crushed boysenberry are accented by a hint of white pepper. Acidity and oak notes balance well with vibrant berry notes.
A very meaty and satisfying Merlot, this is a true success. The fruit is quite ripe showing good purity on a big frame with only a minimal overlay of oak. Merlot lovers will find the softness they typically seek in this rendition, but with more body and depth of flavor than in most $20 examples.

Scintillating acidity and a bloom of honeysuckle and lime blossom ramp up with lemon meringue. Vanilla wax candle and white tea add to the refreshing finish.
