Once & Future 2017 Merlot Sangiacomo Vineyard, Carneros   

2017 Once & Future Merlot Sangiacomo Vineyard Carneros
NVWE Notes: Rich, zesty, soft-edged yet concentrated, this is a delightfully distinctive Merlot. The nose melds dark cherry, black cherry, dried cranberry, mulberry, violet, rose, peppercorn, toffee and dark tobacco scents into a bright harmony. On the palate it proves piquantly fresh and gently gripping yet polished, and offers focused, gently lingering flavors of dark sour cherry, dried cranberry, mulberry, blueberry, red plum, rose candy, toffee and black tea. It is beauty food-balanced and ready to enjoy. 226 cases produced.
