2023 VS Merlot Veness Vineyard

Description

The 2023 VS Merlot, Veness Family Vineyard showcases the richness, elegance, and depth that define exceptional Merlot. Crafted from 100% Merlot and aged for twenty-one months in French and European oak barrels, with fifty percent new oak, this vineyard-designated wine offers remarkable balance and complexity. Aromas of boysenberry and ripe plum lead the bouquet, while notes of chocolate, mint, and sweet oak add layers of character and intrigue. The palate is smooth and inviting, supported by soft tannins that provide structure without overwhelming the wine’s fruit-forward profile. A long, lingering finish leaves lasting impressions of dark fruit, subtle spice, and integrated oak.
