The 2019 Component Collection from Red Mountain chalks in at 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and is aged in 100% new French oak for 22 months. Displaying a medium to dark ruby core with a light purple rim, and a stunning nose of red cherry, blueberry compote, mountain sage, cedary herbs, and graphite, this high acid Merlot sports sweet tannins, and additional flavors of sweet cinnamon and black cherry with gobs of stony minerality on the finish. Only 200 cases produced. Best in 2023.
