Our 2018 Merlot, Arcilla is a powerhouse style of Merlot, rife with black cherry, sandalwood, coffee, and cocoa nib notes. On the palate the wine is expansive and rewards with cherry and blackberry fruit, silky tannins, and an earthy, spicy finish that is both savory and inviting. Emblematic of a cool vintage, this Merlot, rooted in Arcilla clay soils, shows the richness and elegance of Merlot perfectly matched to its terroir.
