Surprised me that it was showing so well at 20 years old! — 2 months ago
Pale and lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with yeasty and toasty oak aromas, sat on lees for 6 months. On the palate flavors of crisp apple and peach with citrus zest and nutty oak notes, well balanced with acidity. Medium+ finish ending with fruit, toasty oak and mineral character. Pair with a lane or red snapper with a tomato garlic compote topping. — a month ago
Light but full flavor. Higher acid than tannin but very good. — 2 months ago

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Pretty nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing cherries, currants, plums, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 11 year old Merlot still feels fresh and engaging, with a lot of power to last even longer.
This Single Vineyard Merlot is extracted and fruit forward. The alcohol is nicely integrated by now. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
Delicious by itself as a sipping wine, and will pair nicely with food too.
14.7% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, blueberries, blackberries, tobacco, chocolates, light oak, spices and peppercorn.

This 11 year old Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Walla Walla Valley is drinking beautifully now. Complex and fruit forward. Elegant and rich. Spicy and entertaining.
