Description
Dark ruby, the 2016 Merlot Bosché has great depth of flavor. expressing dark fruit like brambly blackberry and rich Bing cherry. The bouquet has nuances of aromatic cedar, dark chocolate, expresso, baking spices and vanilla. The oak spice is very well integrated, not dominant but provides a substantial backbone to the complexity of the wine balancing the abundance of fruit depth. The flavor is big, voluptuous, soft and velvety, with rich, great depth of black cherry fruit. The tannins are well integrated providing a very long fruitful finish.
