The 2021 Santa Cruz County Merlot is deep garnet in color with excellent clarity. It has fruity aromas of black cherry and plum mingling well with notes of cocoa androasted coffee beans. This Merlot is medium-full bodied, with nice acidity and soft tannins. The finish is long, as these dark fruit, savory spice, and cocoa flavors linger onthe palate.
Blend: 90% Merlot, 10% Petite Sirah
