This Reserve Merlot has a beautiful deep garnet color and opens with intense and complex aromatics. Notes of blackcurrant, plum, and black cherry fill your nose and entice your palate. Some Cabernet Sauvignon from Perucci Vineyard has been blended in to add complexity and richness.  The tannins on this powerful Merlot are full but soft. The finish is long, carried though by a lasting acidity one expects from our cool-climate Santa Cruz Mountains Merlot.
