Switchback

92 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. Firm and muscular, with dense, rich dark berry, currant and blackberry fruit. Complex, layered and tannic, yet with a supple edge and a long finish of melted black licorice.

A gorgeous Merlot; showing Asian spice aromas that lead to lush flavors of bing cherries, cassis and a hint of mocha; full bodied and round on the palate; silky tannins, long, lingering finish.
