2024 Beal Vineyard Reserve Merlot
Every vintage our estate Merlot rises above expectations, and 2024 is once again no exception to that rule. A warm, dry summer and fall yielded red wines with excellent structure, deep color concentration, and ripe phenolic development. This rich, full-bodied red wine has lovely aromas of dark plum, blackberry compote, and a subtle whiff of eucalyptus. With voluptuous tannins that will coat your entire palate, one may also detect notes of cocoa, vanilla, and tobacco on the finish. Despite its cool climate origins, this Merlot packs a powerful punch and will only continue to evolve beautifully in bottle.
