An opaque red/black color, the 2021 Merlot Sonoma Valley Reserve leads with notes of dark earth, black plum, cocoa, and espresso. Full-bodied, it coats the palate and retains a delicate freshness on the finish, with hints of red apple and plush tannins.
Potent in structure, this retains a sense of focus and finesse, with deep flavors of black raspberry, roasted anise and green peppercorn. Finishes with medium-grained tannins
Handsomely structured, with refined red currant, mocha and tomato leaf accents that build richness toward polished tannins.
Youthful and tight, ripe damson and red cherry fruit. Good complexity with beautiful balance and an earthy, mineral finish.
Expressions of bramble and forest fruits, English tea and tobacco. Fresh acidity with complex spice and liquorice. Solid, yet charming.
