The 2021 Merlot is packed with dark blue/purplish fruit, new leather, spice, tobacco, mocha and licorice. Juice and enveloping, with terrific energy, the Merlot is absolutely delicious. the birghter style here is so compelling. Plush contours wrap it all together. 

-By Antonio Galloni on December 2023

Lots of red plums, darker chocolate, and tobacco notes emerge from the 2021 Merlot, a beautifully textured, medium-bodied Pomerol look-alike that has fine tannins, notable purity, and a great finish. It's beautifully done and an utterly delicious, satisfying Merlot to drink over the coming decade.

The 2021 Merlot, with 12% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. It springs with vivacious scents of black plums, black cherries, and juicy blueberries followed by hints of aniseed and spice cake. The medium to full-bodied palate is soft and juicy, with compelling freshness and a perfumed finish.

There are approximately 5,000 cases of the excellent 2021 Merlot. Black cherries lead the way, joined by slightly leafy hints and bright notes of raspberries and red cherries. It's medium to full-bodied, plump and round in the mouth but with just enough structure to maintain some shape, ending with a wash of softly dusty tannins.
