Made by Jay Buoncristiani, of Buoncristiani Winery and Hess Collection, and his Wife, this is serious Merlot for the money. Complex with loads of dark, berry fruit, vanilla, licorice and balanced by great acidity, this Merlot is teriffic for everyday consumption but will last in the cellar for 5-10 years. Only 825 cases of this stunning value handcrafted wine were produced.
