Paloma Merlot 2016

Gloriously rich and luscious, this velvety wine now shows hints of Toblerone and chocolate ‘lava’ cake that we adored. On the mid-palate we delighted in the silky mouth feel, plus flavors of espresso bean, cassis, baking spice, and a:30 long finish featuring plush tannins. Enjoy now through 2028.

Elegant and inviting aromas of strawberry cream and spicy notes. The generous texture is soft and velvety with concentrated layers of dark red fruit flavors amid a backdrop of spices, flowers and toasty oak.
