Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Merlot Larry Hyde opens with notes of baked plums, stewed black cherries and blackberry preserves plus suggestions of tar, aniseed and cracked black pepper. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers bags of juicy black fruit with compelling peppery accents and rounded tannins, finishing with a refreshing burst of red fruit.

Lastly, the 2017 Merlot Larry Hyde Vineyard offers attractive blackberry and plum notes as well as medium-bodied richness, notes of spice and earth, a charming, easygoing style and moderate length. Drink it over the coming 7-8 years.
