This leads with plum, vanilla, barrel spice and herb aromas. The palate is soft and velvety, keeping the vineyard's often burly tannins well in check and providing a lot of textural appeal. Cocoa notes linger on the finish, delivering a yum factor that is hard to ignore.

Pleasing aromas of cocoa, dried herb and red fruit lead to a full-bodied palate with a tight core of grippy tannins. Vanilla and spice notes run throughout.

All varietal from one of the state's most highly regarded vineyards, this wine offers aromas of dark raspberries, green herbs, vanilla and barrel spices. The fruit and barrel flavors show concentration and depth, with a light chalkiness to the tannins.

Iron and steel, rock and earth are the first things you notice about this mineral-inflected, single-vineyard Merlot. It's an ode to tannin and terroir, a tough, tight and dense wine with primary fruit flavors of cranberry and cassis.
