Mayacamas Merlot 2016

Distinctly Mount Veeder in character, the 2016 Merlot showcases the appellation's volcanic minerality beautifully. Sweet red fruit mingles with white pepper, dried flowers and mint in a compelling display of mountain-grown complexity. The wine shows remarkable nuance and layering, with savory mineral notes providing backbone to the expressive fruit. Approachable now with minimal cellaring required.
