Leonetti Merlot 2023

This beautiful magenta-colored Merlot opens with an enveloping aroma of blackberries picked on a warm summer day. The elegant nose evolves into notes of dried flowers, wet stones, and herbs. The palate has a rich, mouth-filling texture, highlighted by blueberry and blackberry fruit notes. The palate is rich and feminine, with a soft, integrated mouthfeel and a long, lingering finish.
