Blind tasted as dead ringer for modem right bank bordeaux. Everyone was surprised. This is a dark merlot with a beautiful rose of rose petals, black currant , cigar and chocolate. Has some soul to it as well. Delicious overall and one of the best domestic merlot I've had in quite some time. Nice

Dusty, blackberry, dirt. Lovely tannins that unfold. Carmel Valley terroir showing through with chalk. From organic grapes.

Not your typical smooth and buttery merlot. Vinegar and tannins. May have been a bad bottle. Hope so.
