2019 Super Senior Merlot

Just like a student may take an extra quarter in school, this Merlot was on the skins some extra time with an extended maceration of 10 months before then pressings into French Oak.  Aromas of sweet cherry, potpourri and strawberry spice explode out of the glass.  This Merlot is a very approachable with its dark fruit flavors and bold tannins and rick structure.  It has balanced acidity with flavors that continue to linger on the finish.  The would pair nicely with a pot roast or prime rib.
