The 2014 Winemaker Barrel Select Merlot begins with aromas of blackberry pie, milk chocolate shavings and suggestions of sandalwood. Smooth and seductive, there are layered flavors of coffee grounds, cocoa powder, red bell pepper and a hint of licorice. Enjoy this wine over the next ten years. (Best 2017-2026) - October, 2017 (OB)
