Top Notes For

9.1

This 100% Merlot is a very consistent performer year in and year out. And the 2008 is no exception.
The nose opens with fresh red cherry, then turns to black plum, blueberry, subtle coconut, dried herbs, and iron. The palate is the smoothest yet compared to the previous 4 vintages, with fresh round acidity and silky tannins.

Not the best I've ever had. But damn close. Low tannins deep red berry fruit and some vanilla on the palate.
