PROLOGUE
Anderson’s Conn Valley Vineyard
North Coast
Merlot
2011
Dark chocolate, plums, cinnamon, and dried flowers are the most prevalent aromatics that are accented by cedar, clove, and vanilla.
The palate follows the nose, and shows great length and fine tannins. This is a
well knit wine with great dark fruit and spice with fantastic balance, power, purity of fruit, and finesse.
****
an exceptionally beautiful merlot with an astonishing finish.
