The 2013 Valadorna is a dim wine that quickly catches consideration with enthralling plum, cherry, and chocolate notes skimming from the glass. The surface is rich and round with ready dim organic products at its center: blueberries, fruits, and currants with dim chocolate. The Valadorna Merlot was singled out October first, permitting sufficient time on the vine for immaculate development and tannin advancement. The nose hops from the glass with fascinating flavors of jasmine, cumin, and vanilla bean. The organic product articulation is of raspberry and dark cherry. The mouthfeel is ruled by long adaptable tannins encircled by slight shivering acids.
