2005 Merlot

Tasting Notes

Warm summer months and a cool autumn yielded a record harvest for 2005. The growing season began with moderate winter temperatures, followed by a long and warm summer which allowed prolonged hang-time and resulted in fruit with deep, concentrated flavors and intense color. This rich wine is concentrated and yet elegant, with aromas of cherry, plum, and dark berries finishing off with flavors of toasted oak, vanilla, toffee and coconut.
Available online only.
