Description

This is extraordinary wine, and there are six magnums for your enjoyment! The rich, weighty Merlot of their Pritchard Hill vineyards has become an outstanding representation of the varietal. Year after year, intensely flavored berries from the hillside vines evolve into a robust wine that has been acclaimed as "best of the vintage."  Deep in color and concentrated in aromas, this wine is highlighted by blackberry and cherry fruit.  Rich tones of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and subtle spice round out the opening bouquet. A sweet impression of ripe fruit and spicy oak fills the palate, with soft tannins creating a lush and round mouthfeel. Vibrant notes of blackberry and cherry flavors persist long into the finish of this expressive Merlot.
