Medium ruby garnet color. Aromas and flavors of baked red fruits, strawberry and blackberry jam, black plum and anise, and mint with a round, bright, dry medium body and a warming, intriguing, medium-long finish with accents of bramble berry, black cherry compote, violet and cocoa, and sandalwood with coating, silky, well-integrated tannins and light oak flavor. A lush and juicy Merlot that makes for an excellent table wine. Exceptional. Best Buy. Score - 93. (tastings.com, Jan. 31, 2023)
