Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Merlot Cellar No. 254 charges out of the gate with bold scents of preserved plums, boysenberries and Black Forest cake with hints of baking spices and fragrant earth. Full, rich and seductive in the mouth, it delivers decadent black fruit preserves and spicy flavors with a velvety texture and impressive freshness, finishing long and perfumed. 394 cases were made.
