Rutherford Estate Vineyard Merlot 2018

A burgundy shade of red commence this wine. Aromas of black plum and black cherry combine with graphite, milk chocolate, and black pepper with a subtle thread of vanilla from the toasted oak. This is a generous merlot with nice freshness on the palate showcasing juicy blackberry and toasted oak. There is a cocoa powder texture with smooth tannins and a long finish.
