Fleshy, sweet fruits like dark cherry and blueberry, wrapped in hints of cola, vanillin, caramel brown sugar and dried sweet herbs, complement the firm tannin structure in this supple, medium-full bodied Merlot. Subdued mocha and cherry flavors are enveloped in the toasty long finish. Enjoy now or cellar for more than ten years or longer.
