Tasting notes

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Merlot Mitsuko's Vineyard rolls effortlessly out of the glass with open-knit scents of blackberry pie, baked plums and mulberries plus suggestions of tar, aniseed and bay leaves. The medium-bodied palate offers a good amount of straightforward black fruit flavors with pleasant herbal sparks and a chewy frame, finishing on a minty note.
