Notes from the Winemaker:
The nose blends such fleshy fruits as black cherry and plum with notes of blonde tobacco and dry fig. The mouthfeel of this wine is big and fleshy, and packed with dark stone fruit and an essence of vanilla. The floral finish lingers with mineral notes.

"Tamber Bey's 2013 Merlot is 94% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. Another successful wine from this winery, it exhibits coffee bean, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, a dense ruby/purple color, a nice fleshy, succulent mouthfeel and no hard edges. Drink it over the next decade. " - Robert M. Parker, Jr. (Dec 2015)
