2008 tasting - A dark purple wine, this Merlot has a fruity bouquet coupled to a fruity, light flavor and a dry, fruity aftertaste.

2009 tasting - This ruby red Merlot has a fruity smell followed by an interesting, thin, tart flavor with ever so slight floral hints. The finish packs a wallop though, and could definitely use the softening of age.
