Paso Creek Merlot 2016

Paso Creek’s bold, juicy, full-bodied, and densely flavored wines provide a glimpse into the heartland of America. Small-lot winemaking and patient barrel aging complete the winemaking picture and enhance the robust and bold character of this Paso Robles appellation merlot.

With bold flavors of blackberries, cherries, currants, and spice complemented by sturdy tannins and balanced acidity, all leading to a rich, long finish. Cigar box aromas infused with generous sweet vanilla oak. Big, bold, muscular wine meant to be enjoyed.

Candied black cherry, hickory smoke, vanilla and dried herbs show on the complex nose of this bottling. It's very plush, rounded and likable on the palate, where flavors of red cherry and caramel prove quite lengthy and medium weight.
