wine details “The 2018 growing season started with late winter rains then a spring marked with intermittent cloudy skies likely delayed bud-break and flowering, which was then followed by ideal fruit set conditions, driving up overall volumes by 20 – 30%. Steady summer heat accumulation with only a couple of short hike spikes combined with a near-perfect fall season created great phenolic accumulation without high sugar concentration. Upfront, the W.S. Keyes Merlot displays concentrated dark fruit, dark chocolate, herbs, and fresh-pressed coffee. The mouthfeel has a powerful weight that is supported by tannin backbone and balanced acidity.” Chris Carpenter, Winemaker 99 Points Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, January 2021 $525.00Limited AvailabilityPlease contact the estate to acquire at 1-877-222-0292*Limit (2) three-bottle wood sets per order
