Winemaker Notes

This vintage continues the legacy of Three Palms with a beautifully expressive and polished Merlot. It opens with alluring aromas of Bing cherries, huckleberry cobbler, crushed rose petals and raspberry jam, accented by subtle notes of bay leaf and graham cracker. On the palate, vibrant fruit and full bodied weight are framed by silken tannins, with flavors of cherry and molasses carried by energetic acidity and the vineyard’s hallmark minerality through the long, refined finish.
