2014 was characterized by a large amount of rainfall and cooler than average temperatures. This translated to a relatively abundant yield, with elevated amounts of juice and acidity and lower levels of sugar. This resulting 100% Merlot is well-rounded and fruit-forward, with a pronounced freshness unique to the millésime. Discreet tannins.
