Description
Deep ruby with garnet edges, this expressive Merlot opens with ripe black cherry, plum skin, boysenberry, and blueberry, layered with cocoa powder and hints of crushed graphite that reflect Dry Creek Valley’s structure-driven terroir. The palate is silky and balanced, offering dark berry fruit and red plum alongside fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. Subtle notes of mocha and dusty earth add savory depth, leading to a long, mineral-tinged finish with lingering cherry compote. Elegant and polished, this is a structured, Cabernet-adjacent expression of Merlot with both immediate appeal and aging potential.
