    This 100% varietal wine displays aromas of leather, barnyard, cherry cordial and raisinated fruit. Flavors are sweet and full, seeming a bit dried out and advanced beyond their years.

    Dark fruits envelop this rich, fat, tannic Merlot. It's loaded with cassis and ripe black cherries, set against generous barrel flavors of cedar, smoke and coffee. The tannins have a black olive streak and a bacon fat finish. Yummy stuff.
