ACCLAIM
“This wine has a deep, dark and tempting core of black fruits and oak spices that is surrounded by the velvety, welcoming texture expected from a Merlot. Blackberries, blueberries, toasted wood and cedar bring out complexity on the palate and linger on the nish. Best through 2030.” – 94 POINTS, WINE ENTHUSIAST, Jim Gordon, November 2023
