This luscious wine represents a meticulous and limited barrel selection of our finest Merlots from the vintage.  Bold black cherry fruit amidst notes of sandalwood, eucalyptus, and marzipan transitions to tastes of juicy black plums, chocolate, & fig.  This offering deserves the "Reserve" mantel for its rich flavors, silky tannins, and long lingering finish
