Tasting Notes

This Merlot shimmers with a deep amethyst color. It offers a vibrant nose of black cherry, ripe plum, red berries, and delicate floral violet. Spiced notes of mocha, cedar, and clove accent these aromas. The palate is plush and inviting with a medium to full body. Refined tannins and juicy acidity stand out. This wine delivers elegance and grace with layers of blackberry, black raspberry, tobacco leaf, and bittersweet dark chocolate. A hint of Griottes cherries, or Kirsch-soaked cherries, adds lift. The long, savory finish reveals notes of wild sage, fresh herbs, and earthy minerality. Mouth-pleasing with complexity and balance, this expressive Merlot is built to offer immediate enjoyment and longevity.

      Vintage Notes
      2023’s extended growing season delayed the harvest until September 5, a notable two and a half weeks later than the previous year. This posed a logistical challenge in the cellar as tanks quickly reached capacity, causing concern about completing the harvest before the onset of the rainy season. Our winemaking team rose to the occasion, and the harvest delivered a bountiful yield of exceptional-quality fruit. The grapes displayed intense color and complex flavors, with vibrant acidity that adds a distinctive character to what is sure to be remembered as a wine collector’s vintage.
