The nose is truly delightful with purple flowers, dark chocolate covered blueberries, and a touch of worn leather/cedar. The flavors layer bright blue fruits with fresh oak, and mild tannins. We blended in 5% each of Cab Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon to add complexity and enhance the smooth finish. Don’t let yourself get turned Sideways by a movie, it’s time to try and enjoy Merlot again.
