Description
Ruby red with a touch of garnet, the Stagecoach merlot is very distinctive with a sense of place. The aroma has the essence of blueberry, black olive, dried cherries and herbal spices. The fruit is integrated with spicy toasted oak, black pepper, cigar box, beef jerky and dried molasses. Dark cherry and plum, with a floral undertone, are the primary flavors on a bed of resolved pleasant tannin structure. The depth of fruit coupled with the richness of flavor, provides a profile that delivers from initial sip, one that continues on the palate for a very long finish….enjoy.
