Working with a vineyard long enough that when it comes up for sale you don’t hesitate to purchase it is, well, nice work if you can get it, and as you’d expect, the results continue to express the wisdom of the purchase and pride of ownership. Another Merlot for the ages that shows great depth, concentration and elegance, with subtle earthen minerality, soft spice tones and carefully selected oak colorations that intrigue and satisfy. Cellar trophy alert!
