The 1997 Merlot from the Klipsun Vineyard is harvested at 3 tons per acre. Its black, saturated color, and sweet, jammy, yet fresh red fruit, and cookie dough aromas lead to its extravagant, opulent, and elegant character. Haagen-Daz coffee ice cream, chocolate-covered cherries, and loads of chewy, intensely ripe red and black fruits are found in this dense, massively intense, and full-bodied wine. Its purity of flavors, mind-boggling ripeness, focus, refinement, power, and length impress mightily. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.Tel: 206-463-3290
