A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: The 2019 growing season produced wines of noted freshness and drive, and those elements are front and centre in this Merlot. It's poised and refined, with dark berry and cherry tones over vanilla, chocolate and coffee underpinnings. There's wonderful balance, and the silky-smooth tannins bring focus and structure. |
