Longboard Vineyards Dakine Merlot

"Here’s a pretty, polished Merlot that features a good structure and ripe, forward fruit flavors. With its rich tannins, it has lush flavors of black and red cherries, currants, licorice, peppery spices and sweet oak, finishing with a touch of raisins. Seems best now, but give it a good decant." -Wine Enthusiast

 

"Young, but there's plenty of jammy black cherry, ripe plum and spicy fruit. 1,450 cases made." -Wine Spectator
