MERLOT/ This lush and inviting Merlot displays enticing berry and cassis aromas, underscored by French oak-inspired notes. The layers of luxurious fruit continue on the palate, where lively acidity adds poise and structure, and silky tannins carry the wine to a long, juicy finish.  90 pts - Wine Enthusiast (v.18) 91 pts - James Suckling (v.17)
