Winemaker Notes

This Merlot captures the generous dark red and blue fruit qualities for which our estate Rector Creek Vineyard is known. You are initially drawn in by aromas of ripe red raspberries and chocolate-covered strawberries, while subtle notes of sweet spices and violets add layers of intrigue and complexity. Round and supple on the palate, velvety tannins create a smooth texture alongside hints of red berries and the spiced accent of cocoa and figs.
