Wine Notes
Dark and expressive, the 2017 Director’s Merlot delivers impeccable balance, outstanding complexity, and a lush texture. Scents of cocoa dusted dark fruit, blackberry, raspberry, and candied violets extend onto the palate, and mingle with flavors of plum liqueur, baking spices, and blackberry jam. Jammy, and velvety smooth supported by well structured tannins on the finish.
The 2017 growing season began with a good deal of precipitation, but after a mild spring, temperatures increased and remained quite warm throughout the summer. This vintage delivered smaller than average clusters, which led to excellent concentration and high-quality fruit overall.
