The dense garnet color follows through to the rim. The nose is warm and dusty with red rose, black cherry, and tobacco aromas. The mouth offers warm cloves that elevate the fruit flavors in this full-bodied wine.

Wine maker notes

Blended with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged in small oak cooperage, this gorgeous Merlot displays the consistency of fruit source and winemaking from its Monticello Road vineyard.
