Mira Merlot Hyde Vineyard 2017

Our Merlot Hyde Vineyard 2017 is a classic expression of Napa Valley Merlot! Intriguingly warm aromas invite you in immediately, leading to flavors of luscious black plum and vanilla. This medium to full bodied wine is vibrantly consistent with gentle tannins allowing for a smooth return that only brings you back wanting more.

"Deep purple color. Aromas and flavors of black plum, black cherry, French vanilla, and mint chocolate cream with a round, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, stimulating, medium-long finish with shades of black cherry, vanilla and mocha, plum sauce, and baking spices and tea with drying, medium, coating tannins and heavy oak flavor. A serious, elegant Merlot with restrained fruit and lively acidity that wants to compete with Right Bank Bordeaux, and is certainly of that caliber." -- 92 points, Beverage Testing Institute
