Nose

the ripe, red berry aromatics on the nose are laced with subtle
vanilla and dried floral notes.

Palate

Medium bodied and classically styled, this Merlot
showcases bright acidity from our Yountville estate vineyard. The tannins are firm
and, along with the sweet oak, are wonderfully integrated into the wine, the texture is
lush and the aromas from the nose carry through on the palate

Aging
