2013 Estate Merlot

Beautiful dried black cherry, plum, mocha, dried tobacco, and fresh graham cracker. Bright acidity awakens the palate and leads into a balanced and full mid-palate with flavors of black cherry, raspberry, and chocolate. Nicely structured tannins, a sweet earthy cocoa flavor and the finish is delightfully velvety. Beautifully fruity, tart entry which leads to a nicely structured long finish, with a licorice sweetness.
