Tasting Panel, 92 Points
"Made with organic grapes, this lush and delicious blend of 79% Merlot, 13% Petite Sirah, 2% Zinfandel, and 6% other red grapes has a delightfully appealing nose of salted plum, chocolate, and beet. On the palate, ripe Bing cherry, mocha latte, and deeply sumptuous boysenberry make each sip increasingly pleasurable as minerality adheres to the lively frame. This one overdelivers."
Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points
"Concentrated flavors of blueberries and blackberries are nicely framed by moderate tannins in this dry wine that’s been bolstered with 13% Petite Sirah. A full body and lightly gripping texture set it up nicely for pairing with big proteins."
Winemaker Notes:
"A dazzling deep mahogany red with a glint of purple, this Merlot’s lovely hue sets the stage for a generous palate of rich, ripe fruit. Aromas of blueberry and plum leap from the glass, layered over a subtle thread of graphite, pencil shaving and a suggestion of dried herbs. This medium-bodied wine has an elegant tannin structure and a long, velvety-smooth finish."
