This high-end offering is a serious, structured Merlot that’s hitting on all cylinders. There’s a purity here that’s often missing from bottles varietally labeled as Merlot, and the herb and spice notes enhance without intruding. Nicely done! A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
