title: Schug 1997 Heritage Reserve Merlot (Carneros)
description: The aromas are much more closed and dense than the regular bottling. Airing reveals plum, currant and cinnamon, and a good dose of toasty oak. Thick and dense, with fine fruit, intricate tannins, and oak. Delicious now, but will gain complexity with short-term aging. Only 329 cases produced.
variety: Merlot
designation: Heritage Reserve
