Watch out world — San Diego County is starting to figure some things out. This world-class Merlot from Ramona Valley shows real complexity in the glass, and a food friendly structure with blackberry, black cherry, dried herbs, pepper and spice mingling together in a long finish. It’s delicious now, and will improve over the next five years. Very impressive wine. A Double Gold Award winner at the 2016 Toast of the Coast Wine Competition.
