This Bordeaux-style blend from Signaterra relies heavily upon Merlot (94 percent) and rightly so. Showing rich notes of plum, currant and cassis, the Etta’s Blend is a beautiful expression of Merlot from the Sonoma Valley. Beautifully structured and elegant, with integrated tannins, it is drinking well now but should really hit its stride at 10 years or older. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
