This distinctive Texas Merlot showcases the varietal's characteristic elegance with rich dark fruit flavors and complex notes of chocolate, tobacco, and subtle herbs. Medium to full-bodied with smooth, well-integrated tannins and excellent structure, the wine balances lush fruit concentration with the refined, velvety character that makes Merlot so appealing. Complex layers of blackcurrant, cherry, and warm spice are complemented by hints of vanilla and minerality reflecting the Texas terroir. The finish is long and satisfying, with persistent fruit and spice notes that make this an exceptional example of this noble varietal thriving in the Texas High Plains.
