description: This is mostly young fruit from Ash Hollow, and it shows. Very light through the middle, though cleverly buttressed with a smattering of Cab Franc from Pepper Bridge and Cab Sauv from Spring Valley. It's silky and smooth, with interesting nuances of herb and grass, and a playful lift to the middle which extends rather surprisingly into the finish. The oak is well played, adding butter, toffee and toast in clever proportions.
variety: Merlot
