A pure expression, the 2017 Merlot Champoux Vineyard embodies the heart of the Merlot, with velvety red fruit, a soft floral nose and subtle plum and sage tones. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a good structured core and grippy tannins that support the vibrant expression and lively freshness, followed by a lingering finish with nuances of subtle oak spices, plush black cherries and dusty plums.
