Needed some decanter time. Chocolate cherries, prunes, baking spice, vanilla, violets. Port-like. Pretty and rich

Anyone that bags on US Merlot needs to try Leonetti. Been killing it for years.

This impressively dark merlot has an amazingly pure nose of exotic floral aromas, perfectly ripe red and black fruits, crème cassis and vanilla cream, smoke, and violets. It had great fat and depth as it spreads across the palate. Representative of the vintage, it is perfectly balanced with precision acidity, seamless tannin, and a sweet long finish. This wine is the epitome of Washington’s finest Merlot’s. Highly Recommend.
