2019 Central Coast Merlot SALVATOR MUNDI

Originating from our prime Santa Maria vineyard, this mediumbodied Merlot has developed a fruit-forward finish, with proper amounts of tannins and viscosity. The warm growing climate and French oak aging has given this Central Coast wine its concentrated structure. Our 2017 vintage has matured nicely over the past couples of years, producing CHERRY AND MOCHA CHARACTERS
