Nearly black in the bottle, this powerful Merlot is a muscular envoy of the varietal, with move aside aromas of raspberry jam, toasty oak, mint and coffee. Flavors of chocolate, plum, cinnamon and cloves jockey for your attention, while a long complex finish wins it.

*This wine was nearly released with no award/reviews available at the time of publication.
