2004 Merlot Santa Cruz Mountains
Our 2004 Estate Merlot is gorgeous in the glass, promising a rich experience. Aromas of bright cherry, eucalyptus and a hint of menthol greet you, followed by hints of fine French oak. This is a big, muscular, meaty and well-structured wine that saw two years in French oak. Massive cherry, espresso and mocha flavors on the long finish. There is also a hint of juniper, giving it that added complexity cool climate Merlots tend to exhibit. This body-builder of a wine has many fine years ahead of it. |
