We picked up a strong lemony aroma at first sniff with honeysuckle overtones in the taste. A very peppery, spicy aroma. Cranberries in the mouth and red plum on the finish. Nice soft tannins. Merlot A bit young, but drinkable now.
Dark cherry flavors with a long, spicy finish.
We also visited the Reserve Room , which is located separately from the regular tasting room. We especially enjoyed this wine. A nutty, pecan-like nose, it rested nicely on the tongue and finished with delightful citrus overtones. Sonoma County Reserve Merlot A very nice, smooth wine. Lots of berries in the aroma with a honey vanilla flavor.
