2021 Merlot | Dry Creek Valley

Laid back yet effortlessly charming, this Merlot knows how to work a room. It greets you with inviting aromas of black cherry, forest flowers, and a touch of tobacco—like a warm, familiar hug. The first sip brings roasted cocoa beans and a hint of herbal spice, leading into a lush mid-palate of ripe blackberry, plum, and delicate violets. Full-bodied with silky, fine-grain tannins, this wine lingers with a balance of fruit and savory depth that keeps the conversation going long after the last sip. 

If this wine were a celebrity, it would carry the effortless wit and charm of Cary Grant with the smooth, inviting presence of Viola Davis—always a pleasure to have around.
