Tasting Notes

Inky black crimson, dense to the rim. The nose unfolds with opulent black and blue fruit preserves, mingling with fragrant earth, graphite, and sweet tobacco. On the palate, black cherry coulis bursts forth, interwoven with delicate dried rose petals, kirsch, and warm plums. Power and precision define the mouthfeel—full-bodied richness beautifully balanced by focused structure. The finish is long and resonant, echoing with juicy mulberries, loamy earth, and a wisp of incense.

Awards & Accolades

"The 2022 Merlot was matured for 21 months in 100% new French oak. It has intense aromas of chocolate-covered cherries, soy sauce, iodine and glossy new oak spice. The full-bodied palate offers iron-laced flavors that have yet to full unfold. It’s structured by soft, powdery tannins and has a long, latent finish. Offer it 3-5 years in the cellar. 254 cases were made."
