The 2016 Merlot is beautiful and also up with the top Merlots in the vintage. Terrific red currants, blackberries, spice box, and cedary herb notes all flow to a plump, medium to f ull-bodied Merlot that hits the palate with loads of fruit, a stacked mid-palate, and a great finish. High-register aromas of baking spices, dried herbs, dried leaf and toast lead to deft, plump dark fruit flavors with ample barrel notes to go along with them. It shows a sense of refinement and elegance that heightens the appeal. There's plenty of richness as well, with fruit and barrel playing equal parts. Show more
