2018 Merlot, Deux Chevaux Vineyard
A rare, 100% Merlot. This aromatic, fruit-forward wine delivers a core of black fruit, with black currant and notes of chocolate. It is full-bodied, with a well-integrated texture and velvety tannins. One of Tamber Bey's original wines from the old block in the Deux Chevaux Vineyard.
