The 2013 vintage is showing, even its youth, to be one of the finest we have made so far. This wine shows wonderful richness of structure, flavor, and aroma while still maintaining a sense of finesse and elegance. On entry, one notices beautiful black cherry fruit, the dried herbs that are complexing agents in the nose and a dusty earthiness that throws the abundant fruit into even greater relief. The 2013 BDX Collection Merlot’s mid-palate is long and full, and the wine finishes with great length and litheness. This wine will age beautifully – with proper storage – for 7-10 years.
