Pride Mountain Merlot Sonoma/Napa 2020

Notes from the winery: The 2020 Estate Merlot is ripe and lifted, with mulberry and kirsch, violets, graphite, sage brush, and forest floor. The addition of Petit Verdot this year really amplifies the aromatics. Rich fruit is balanced by textbook supple mountain tannins, our chaparral earthiness and lovely freshness. Sweet vanilla, subtle baking spices, and a luxuriant mouthfeel give way to a fragrantly floral finish.
