Lot 45
2018 St. Helena Merlot

Lush plum, blackberry and pretty cherry are bracketed by sexy, toasty oak, acacia florals, cedar and cocoa powder notes. As promised, its lush on the palate but very well supported with pretty cherry, boysenberry and chocolate toffee oak notes in a long, clean finish. Yes, its rich and ripe but also very well-balanced - clearly a deft hand at the wheel here.
