Far from your mundane Napa Merlot. This wine opens with more of a herbal nose with milk chocolate, black cherry and dill. There are flavors of raspberry, black cherry and milk chocolate. Delicious, with a striking minerality and moderate tannins that will dissipate in a few years. Best to wait two years as this develops. (Best 2017-2027) - August, 2015 (OB)
