BW MERLOT SCM REGAN VYD NR 2021
Tasting Notes
This 2021 Santa Cruz Mountains Merlot comes from Regan Vineyards, our estate vineyard in Corralitos. Dark fruit dominates the nose, with aromas of plum, blackberry, and black cherry. Smoked meat and cocoa powder notes add to the complexity. On the palate the fruit is ripe and rich, but not overripe or jammy. This full bodied Merlot will only get better with time, as its rich tannins continue to soften.
