Dark and daring, this concentrated and velvety wine is astonishingly impressive, with notes of cocoa, dark cherry, cardamom, allspice, and violets leading to a full bodied mouthfeel, rich in plum, currant, espresso, and hints of savory sage and white pepper towards the long finish. Trust us when we say this is a truly captivating Napa Merlot worthy of several slots in any serious collector’s cellar. Think Duckhorn 3 Palms, Pahlmeyer, Hourglass… this Merlot is the perfect balance of hedonism and restraint. While it can be enjoyed now with a hearty decant, this, like top St. Emilions, will age seamlessly for the next 10-20 years. Bravo!
