Consistently bold and enjoyable reds from one of the Dry Creeks Best Estate wineries! This one has a nice finish but it will be wonderful in a few years!

Awesome merlot! Deep purple color, oak, blackberry & raisin nose. Velvet mouth feel with chewy tannins. Long smooth finish that leaves you wanting more.

The best way to describe this wine is velvet in a glass. Blueberries...meaty and increasingly growing in the glass with beauty and complexity. Yum!
