Mid-weighted merlot, reflective of a cooler vintage. Riffs on dried tobacco, mint and other strewn garden herb shuffling amidst juicy red cherry notes, while segueing to an astringent, sappy finish. This feels almost delicate in a Moss Wood context, suggestive of something from the Loire. It should reward mid-term cellaring. Good drinking. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
