2013 Alpha, Merlot

Red Mountain

Illustrating exceptional depth and color the aromas are rich and plentiful revealing dark fruit tones with a hint of caramel, vanilla bean and assorted barrel spice. The wine is rich, sleek and lithe combining a solid structure with depth and dimension.  The dense palate is layered with plentiful, rich flavors of black cherry and rich plum joined by dark truffle and notes of cedary oak. The wine illustrates excellent complexity and solid structure while offering supple and refined tannins leading to an elegant finish.
