2016 Reserve Merlot Seven Hills Vineyard

We brought together a variety of different Cabernet clones from a select few vineyards sprinkled throughout the Horse Heaven Hills for this blend to really showcase the best this appellation had to offer for the vintage. This created a deeply layered wine full of bold dark fruit, earth and elegant smooth tannins.

This wine is a concentrated yet silky blend of violets, black currant, black cherry and dark chocolate. It is a well- textured Cabernet that is luscious and silky with a persistent finish.

This Syrah is like a fathomless black hole of condensed fruit and smoky spices densely rich with aromas of smoked blackberries and blueberries hinting of BBQ. Resilient tannins give it a girth that holds up to its weight and unctuous character.

This Cabernet Franc reveals its darker savory side with layers of black and dried fruit playing against graphite and leather. It's ample, round tannins give it bold structure and a delicate suggestion of woody spices marry well with this lightly oaked wine and are accentuated in the finish.

The wine opens up with densely packed aromas of plum, black cherry and currants. The mid palate is rich with flavors of licorice and chocolate and give way to a powerful finish that shows depth, weight and complexity.

Flavors of lavender, plum, and black raspberry with a lengthy finish and a hint of white pepper.
