The Wine
Merlot is an early ripening grape and, with the excellent weather we had, was the first red grape we picked. This wine is a blend from three different Merlot blocks, including fruit from our twenty year old Hyatt Merlot block. The wine has a fruit driven palate with red hints of cherries in the finish, good balance, and smooth tannin structure.
