2005 Merlot

Winemaking Notes
Ripe fruit flavors give the wine a delightful brightness and a distinct fruit forward orientation. The oak flavors provide a rich creamy texture that is free of astringent tannins. The finish is lengthy and full of toasted oak that lingers on the palate. Deep purple color, with youthful bright hues characterize this wines appearance. The aromas feature ripe dark red fruits; boysenberry, loganberry and blackberry. A bouquet of toasted oak with hints of milk chocolate compliments the aromas.
