This wine immediately stands out upon pouring in the glass with its rich, purple color. There is a beautiful intensity and complexity of aromas that suggest a wonderful integration of a judicious amount of new oak that provides some nice toasty coconut undertones to the rich dark fruit; with added notes of mature plums, blueberries and cassis. Flavors follow along with hints of baking spices with a rich texture and a full mouthfeel. This is a well balanced Merlot that lingers nicely on the palate and finishes with a long luscious finish.
This wine was aged for 18-20 months in 60 gallon French Coopered predominately American Oak barrels from Missouri and Minnesota. We incorporate about 1/3 new oak barrels every year. We like how these barrels marry well with our Merlot and the percentage of new oak is a nice balance of giving the wine some nice notes of spice, coffee and a light toasty character without overpowering the bright fruit.
