Containing 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Merlot begins with a nose of dusty red fruits—plum, juicy cherry—along with aromas of red flowers and hints of dried herbs. Medium-bodied, the palate becomes slightly tart, with red spices and cherry blossoms across the mid-palate. The balanced structure and soft tannins linger through the thoughtful finish. 1,100 cases produced.
