Reviews and Ratings

Boasting a delicate bright peach tint, the 2007 Merlot Bianco bombards the sense with strawberry, lemon rind, wet stone and the beautiful sweep of fresh lavender. The bright palate is dry, yet rich and awe-inspiring amid flavors of strawberry, blackberry and rhubarb, coupled with slight cinnamon and nutmeg. The graceful tannins provide a great balance with the acidic zing, which keeps the palate fresh and focused.
