BW MERLOT SCM REGAN VYD NR 2022
Tasting Notes
This Santa Cruz Mountains Merlot comes from Regan Vineyards, our estate vineyard in Corralitos. Aromas of dark fruits, plum, blackberry, cherry, and rhubarb please the senses. Secondary notes of clove spice and cocoa powder add to the complexity. On the palate the wine starts with ripe and rich flavors that are then cut and complemented by a bright acidity. This full-bodied Merlot will only get better with time, as its rich tannins will continue to soften. Drink now thru 2035.
