Grapes come from DuBrul Vineyard so you know it has to be good. Pretty clear in that is was rich in color and has a nose of spices and loads of cherries that have fallen off the tree. Pretty full-bodied on the palate but not enough to push me away. It was funny cause people would come up and ask for a tasting. Tim (winemaker) would start to pour the Merlot and people would say "oh no Merlot please", like it was some kind of swill that was mixed together. At one point I actually told someone to try it. He liked it.
Wine sees 50% new french oak and %50 1-year-old french oak. On the finish it was refined yet still had some nice acidity and earth notes. Tannins were just right.
