This is the most amazingly and fabulously delicious Merlot I have ever put my lips upon. The flavors are immense and absolutely overwhelm your taste buds with hints of robust berry, perfected grape, and a hint of spice. The deep flavor paralells that of which I have tasted in wines of much greater age and significantly higher price. For a wine that is so young, so affordable, and yet so refined, it exemplifies what a true Californian wine should characterize in each and every sip.
