| Description: | 90 pts Wine Advocate May 2021 The 2019 Downes Family Merlot starts juicy and dusty with delightful layers of dusty plum, sour cherry and soft elements of juicy tobacco, hints of oak and a gentle display of pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, the wine delivers a balanced structure with lifting tannins and succulent acidity, before flavors of black plum and dark cherry skin sway across the mid-palate. The wine concludes with a persistent tannic edge and lingering flavors of blackberry and spiced plum compote. 2021-2028 89 pts Wine Spectator June 2021 Baked fig and black currant fruit flavors are underscored by a smoky hint of ground coffee and accents of bay leaf and citrus peel in this round, medium-bodied red.
