Winery review: Select lots from mountain and valley floor vineyards were vinified separately and aged in oak barrels to enhance the velvety texture and add enticing brown spice aromas and flavors. A rich complex Merlot, with notes of cherry, plum, cocoa ad allspice and a long finish.
My review: The bouquet of this Merlot smelled like black cherry and dark chocolate with a slightly acidic finish. It tasted like fresh blackberries, clove and black pepper. I enjoyed this wine with summer roll and garlic fried rice. What I found most surprising with this pairing was that the summer roll sauce reduced all the pepper flavor in the wine.
