Tasting notes
Lots of spicy, herbal-laced red and black fruits, as well as some chocolaty notions, emerge from the 2018 Merlot, a plump, up-front, medium to full-bodied Merlot offering nicely integrated acidity, fine tannins, and a great finish. Drink this undeniably delicious, juicy Merlot over the coming 7-8 years or so.

A lovely nose of sliced plum, wet stone, rosemary stem and black cherry. Medium-to full-bodied with velvety tannins. Some nice mineral notes add brightness and definition to the fresh fruit. Tasty. Drink or hold.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Merlot Larry Hyde has a beautifully evocative nose of kirsch, ripe black plums and black raspberries, plus hints of violets, fallen leaves and cinnamon stick. Medium to full-bodied, with fantastic freshness and tons of energetic black and red berry flavors, it finishes long and mineral laced.
