The final chapter in a trio of outstanding successive vintages, this year stands out for its exceptional quality. Bud-break and flowering occurred earlier than usual, setting the stage for a warm, dry summer that allowed the Merlot to ripen gradually and accumulate sugar at an ideal pace. The resulting wine offers a concentrated and juicy dark fruit profile, beautifully balanced by vibrant acidity. This harmony extends to a long and satisfying finish, making it a standout vintage that showcases both richness and elegance in equal measure.
