Tasting Notes
The 2019 Block 4 Merlot is dark-colored and medium-bodied with a perfect amount of tannins. This beautiful wine offers generous black cherry, berry, and plummy fruitiness, a chocolatey center, and finishes with an incredible vanilla spiced depth. A crowd-pleasing Merlot, this will age well if you can hold on to it, or it can easily be enjoyed with or without your favorite foods.
