2005 Merlot

Tasting Note: Smoke, blackberries and notes of cherry and hibiscus fill the nose of this dense purple wine. Smoky flavors continue on the front palate leading to black plums and cherries on the finish. The ripe tannins provide consistent weight and mouth feel through the mid palate and finish.
