'Aromas of blueberry, cherry, plum and dried herbs burst from the glass of this Merlot. These bright fruit characters carry over onto the palate and mix with notes of blackberry, black tea, milk chocolate and spicy oak. A round and juicy mid-palate, with polished tannins, leads to a lush finish with cassis on the close.' -- Margo Van Staaveren, Winemaker
