A ripe, fruit-forward merlot that shows some nice restraint and structure. Bouquet of jammy black fruit, roasted bell peppers, mocha, vanilla, sweet baking spices, smoke, and pencil shavings.

Medium acidity and medium-high, slightly gritty tannins. This wine would probably be better integrated in a year or so.
