Merlot Reserve 2020
Tucked away in a far corner of the gallery, the small painting was passed by many without so much as a second glance. But the young woman, walking through on a beautiful summer day, stopped and could not tear herself away for more than an hour, immersed in every detail of the hidden gem. As the director of the gallery walked by, he noticed her and nodded approvingly, smiling as he moved on.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Aromas of raspberry preserves and polished wood transition perfectly into flavors of cocoa dusted cherries framed by an elegant yet persistent tannin.
Winemaker Notes
So often, Merlot lacks the attention we feel it deserves as one of the greatest wine grapes of the world. One that has proven itself time and time again in the fantastic wines of the Right Bank of Bordeaux. In 2020 we had an exceptionally high-quality, intensely flavorful crop of Merlot coming from one of our favorite partner vineyards, a perfect start to this special Reserve bottling. Aged more than three years in the finest small French oak barrels.
Food Pairing Notes
Worthy of an extended stay in the cellar but mesmerizing now with Entrecôte Steak.
