Description

VinoUS Media Review
Rated 90
The 2022 Merlot opens with a darkly floral bouquet of wild blueberries and violets, lifted by nuances of mint. Silky smooth on the palate, it offers ripe wild berry fruit and a tinge of citrus guided by juicy acidity. The finish tapers off with subtle tension and excellent length, leaving sweet tannins and a bitter hint of black tea to fade slowly. Incredibly fresh and pure, this Merlot is easy to like and a fantastic value. Drinking Window 2025-2029.

How To Serve

How To Serve
  • Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
  • Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
  • Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
  • Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
