Winery Tasting Notes

Appearance:

A deep garnet with subtle brick hues at the rim, showing signs of graceful aging. The wine is clear and has a medium intensity, with a rich, inviting appearance.

Nose:

The nose is soft and complex, offering ripe red and dark fruits such as plum, black cherry, and mulberry. There’s a pleasant integration of secondary aromas from aging, including leather, tobacco, and a touch of forest floor. Subtle notes of dried herbs, vanilla, and a hint of cedar from oak aging add depth to the aromatic profile.

Palate:

On the palate, this Merlot is medium to full-bodied, with plush, rounded tannins that have softened with age, giving the wine a smooth, velvety texture. The dominant flavors are ripe plum, black cherry, and dark berry compote, accompanied by nuances of dried fig and a hint of mocha. A delicate touch of oak brings forth spice notes of vanilla and a hint of clove, while earthy and herbal undertones add complexity. The wine’s balanced acidity keeps the palate fresh, complementing the richness of the fruit.

Finish:

The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant mix of dark fruit, subtle earthiness, and a whisper of smoky oak. The tannins are well-integrated, giving the wine a soft, polished feel, while the acidity provides a clean and refreshing end to each sip.
