An austere and imposing example of this cru displaying characteristic power and strength

concentrated and muscular flavors that are shaped by moderately rustic tannins on the sappy and mouth coating finale

with a fruit-filled finish

lightly toasted almonds

Donati Merlot Paicines 2018 sku_2141048 An austere and imposing exampleThis Central Coast California Merlot is freah, clean, smooth, and balanced with medium plus body, easy acidity, and soft tannins. The palate conveys flavors of plum, blackberry, dark cherry, oak, vanilla, spice, and a touch of anise. Try with a bacon cheese burger.
