Description:

This wine is a great expression of hillside Merlot. The incredibly dark color reminds one of Cabernet, yet the perfumed nose sings of Merlot. As in past vintages, this wine is rich and powerful with a solid core of fruit and tannins. The 2003 vintage opens with floral aromas of rose petals and jam. On the first sip, sweet blackberry and plum fills the palate while chocolate and spice add layering in the middle. These flavors lead to a coating mouthfeel, while layers of vanilla and spice from the oak lengthen the finish.
