The 2010 Reserve Merlot is composed of 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, aged 16 months in French oak barriques . Deep garnet-purple in color, it gives a tantalizing nose of mulberries, warm black plums and blueberry preserves with hints of lavender and spice box. Full bodied and generously fruited on the palate, the voluptuous flavors are well supported by a medium to firm level of velvety tannins and refreshing acid, finishing long and spicy. Approachable now, it should drink best 2013 to 2021+.
