The 2000 Merlot offers up sweet cherry scents with a hint of cocoa in the background, medium body, and a fruity, vibrant finish. This is a tank-fermented and aged effort that sees no oak during its upbringing. The estate's goal is to present ripe fruit in a natural, virginal fashion. This is a pleasant example to drink over the next 1-2 years.Importer: Southern Starz, Inc., Huntington Beach, CA; tel. (714) 892-3030
