2020 Premier Collection Merlot
TASTING NOTES
Very aromatic with toasted oak, dark fruits, and berry jam lead to flavors of black cherry, cola, and dark chocolate. This is a full-bodied wine that has round and silky tannins leading to an elegant and mature pallet. The Merlot finishes with cedar and blackberry flavors with just a hint of coffee.
