Dark cherry and blackberry mingle with tobacco leaf and fresh herbs in this graceful Merlot. The whole cluster fermentation brings welcome structure without overwhelming the fruit's natural elegance. Medium-bodied with lively acidity that keeps the wine dancing on the palate. Six years in, it shows no signs of fatigue.
