Nickel & Nickel Suscol Ranch Merlot (2017)

The 2017 Suscol Merlot offers a perfect harmony of juicy and succulent flavors. A small swirl coaxes enticing aromas of dark plum, green olive, and cedar from the glass. Earthy notes of tobacco leaf, olive, tar, and spice blend nicely with the dark, sweet fruit. From year to year, this wine’s distinctiveness lies in the lush, velvety tannins that expand upon the initial sip and develop with richness through the finish.
