The 2015 Merlot is gorgeous. Soft, open-knit and radiant, the 2015 is all class. Super-ripe red cherry, plum, mocha and espresso resonate beautifully in this lush Merlot that will provide immense pleasure pretty much upon release. Expressive aromatics complement the wine's textural resonance and enveloping personality beautifully. This luscious, bold Merlot is first class all the way. (AG)

A chewy Merlot with lots of ripe tannins and plenty of berry and hazelnut character. Full and rich but not overdone. Drink in 2020.

Made from 100% varietal, the 2015 Merlot is a charming, rounded, sexy effort that gives up lots of blackberry and black cherry fruits, aromas of cedar, spice and hints of vanilla oak, and a supple, forward style on the palate ideal for drinking over the coming decade.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Merlot features warm plums, baking spices, dusty earth and licorice notions on the nose with a touch of dusty earth. Full-bodied, softly textured and packed with rich, spicy fruit, it delivers a nice, long plum-laced finish.
