Retzlaff Vineyards Estate Cabernet Merlot Blend Livermore Valley CA 2018

Tasting Notes: Dark fruit rises initially, with black cherry, plum, and cassis opening into cedar, cocoa, and dried herbs. This Livermore Valley blend carries supple tannins, balanced acidity, and savory depth across a polished palate before settling into a lasting, composed, gracefully persistent finish.
