Still young, ready in 2-5 years. Rating it based on its great potential

Bright red fruit on the nose. Smooth and plush on entry with a hint of oak plus cassis and cherries on the palate. Medium bodied with subtle, sweet tannins and a moderate finish. A great Cali merlot.

So so good... Great length and fruit. New oak adds great complexity.
