Aged this Merlot a while. Very dark berry flavor, but extremely smooth finish. My go to Merlot!

So smooth and velvety with an easy finish. Smells like alcohol but doesn't have that taste or feel. Light berry taste.

Varietally correct with very sturdy dense chewy tannins, black fruit = plum & boysenberry with some dirt, loam, earth and pepper. Big guns here if lacking length on finish, but still very solid
