Nose
Freshly grated nutmeg and toasted espresso accentuate aromas of flinty mineral and Mandarin orange zest, leading to an explosive, heady aromatic. The dark sour cherry and tangy dried cranberry flavors are the hallmark of our Hourglass Merlot.
Palate
They enliven the palate and make this a remarkably savory wine and ideal food companion. Silky tannins, bright acidity and an energetic underscore of minerality provide the structure that frames the deep, focused flavors, skating on to a beautifully layered and lingering finish. May this wine introduce you to the pleasures of Merlot, or simply continue you on your enlightened path.
