A beautiful Merlot from a severely undervalued producer. Deep blackberry and black cherry fruit are joined by a complex mix of fall spice, and a light citrus component keeps everything popping through a long, satisfying finish. What a joy to give accolades to a local product! A Platinum Award Winner at the 2017 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
