2022 Reserve Merlot

Deep purple hue with a beautiful perfumed bouquet: black plum, black cherry, cassis, violets, eucalyptus, wild sage, and gravel. The palate is hedonistic--well-delineated tones of cassis, black cherry, espresso, violets, dark chocolate, and aged cigar tobacco. The wine has a high level of polished tannins that will resolve in the next few years. The vibrant acidity deftly frames the wine. The well-integrated French oak tones lead into a decadent, silky finish with notes of aged cigar tobacco, black cherry, and bittersweet chocolate
