2018 Reserve Merlot

2018 Reserve Merlot

This bright ruby red wine shows color variation brought on by time in barrel and bottle.  On the nose find aromas of raspberry, red currant, cacao and rosemary.  Dense and delicious flavors of black cherry, black berry and ripe salmonberry are highlighted by notes of anise and flamed orange peel. The mouthfeel is rich but the pleasing acidity balances weight and refreshment.  The wine finishes dry with concentrated flavors of baked black fruits, ripe red cherry, notes of caramel and persistent tannins.
