The 2006 Merlot which spent 12 months in 50% new oak, is purple-colored and offers up a nose of clove, cinnamon, cedar, cassis, and black currant. On the palate pleasant cherry and plum flavors emerge leading to a pure, fruit-filled finish. This easy-going, seamless effort will deliver pleasure for another 5 years.
