14 Hands 2018 Merlot Reserve Case of 12

Tasting Notes

This delightfully complex Merlot runs the gamut from red to dark fruit, beginning with aromas of cherry and raspberry which then transform into blackberry, black pepper and a subtle toast. The palate showcases a delicate interweaving of cherry, blackberry, vanilla, dark cocoa and licorice.
