A “Right Bank” style wine, this Merlot resembles a young European Bordeaux more than a New World Merlot. Subtle notes of blueberry and dried cherry are the most apparent flavors of this restrained style wine, which gives this wine a lively lift to balance the earthy nature and aroma’s of wet slate and mineral. This wine is age-worthy and will benefit greatly from a couple hours of decanting or a few passes thru an aerator if you can’t wait that long to enjoy it.
