| TASTING NOTE: The 2014 Merlot begins with aromatics of ripe cherry, blackberry, baking spices and strawberry preserves. This leads to flavors of red cherry, loganberry preserves and cassis with black olive tapenade accents. Best 2017-2022. Score - 89 (Dr. Owen Bargreen, internationalwinereport.com, June, 2017) |
