Plumpjack Merlot has a beautiful and complex nose of black cherry, boysenberry jam, plum, and fresh cut flowers come through first, then cardamom, nutmeg, and a touch of cocoa and vanilla enter giving the nose depth and intrigue. The palate too has great depth and complex flavors of red cherries, muddled berries, and dried herbs, with a creamy texture and silky tannin complimented by fresh, vibrant acidity.
