2020 Valo Reserve Merlot

Ripe plums, dark cherry, fig paste, cocoa powder, and dark chocolate. Swirling brings black licorice, tobacco leaf, black tea, and hints of blackberry Jam and oak spice.

Rich and savory, with remarkable sweetness and a full mid-palate, this exotic Merlot from Conner Lee vineyard shows extreme purity and precision. The mouthfeel is dark and broad, with a wide variety of flavors and an expressive underlying minerality. The tannins here are soft and well developed, and the acid presentation is outstanding.

The wine finishes extremely long, with hints of milk chocolate, ground coffee and toffee. A one of a kind Merlot that you can enjoy now or in the next 15 years.
