Note di degustazione
The 2023 Merlot is a spice box on the nose, mixing cloves, incense, dried flowers and hints of menthol. It presents a balanced inner sweetness and soothingly round textures as crisp blue fruits cascade across the palate. A collection of edgy tannins is offset by a bump of residual acidity, finishing long and full of youthful tension. Have patience with the 2023.

Winemaker Chris Figgins has slowly transitioned to getting Merlot for the 2023 Merlot from cooler sites and giving them a shorter aging window of 15 months. The resulting wine possesses great elegance through a full-bodied frame of rich blue fruit, dried herb, and floral aromatics. The oak is well-integrated, and the tannins supple and supportive. This will continue to drink well over 10-12 more years.
