Leonetti Cellar Merlot (2022)

This wine is densely colored garnet to the rim.  It opens with rich aromatics of graham crackers and blackberries poured over vanilla ice cream with a subtle note of rich medium roast coffee.  Sweet and dense fruit notes on the midpalate are bolstered by grippy tannins that recede at the perfect moment. Each sip leaves you with a supple but chalky finish that lingers.  A truly sensational Merlot from the ’22 vintage that must be experienced.
