Bright, black cherry fruit dominates and is laced with toasty mocha and caramel notes that ground the fruit and lend complexity. Cherry follows through on the palate and expands to reveal plum, raspberry, and an attractive classic vein of minerality that contributes dimension to the tannin structure. Bold yet supple, this take on merlot celebrates the vibrant fruit, signature earth/spice elements, soft but present tannins, and easy-sipping approachability of this cheery varietal.
