2004 Atalon Keyes Vineyard Merlot

Tasting Notes
"The 2004 Keyes Vineyard Merlot begins with aromas of smoke, minerals, cedar and leather. It exhibits flavors of black cherries, plums, blueberries and a finish of licorice. It’s full-bodied with round tannins. A voluptuous and pure expression of Howell Mountain Merlot — rings like a bell." - Tom Peffer, Atalon Winemaker
