Rutherford Hill Merlot 2016 sku_2137902 Xavier Monnot’s 2 acre parcelCrimson red. Intense aromas of dark fruit (black currant, blackberries, & blueberries) layered with notes of cassis with hints of savory herbs, anise, and spice. Intricately and intense flavors of dark cherry and pomegranate, with a thread of baking spices. Full bodied and round with a lush texture and rich tannins. A firm, linear red with blackberry, cherry and dark chocolate aromas and flavors that follow through to a medium body. Fresh finish.
