- Description:
- 1995 was the second year that we bought fruit from the Las Lomas vineyard. Melissa was already very familiar with the vineyard as she had helped plant it and had worked with the fruit since 1991. By 1995, the vines were fully mature. This Merlot has the same juicy fruit character as the 1996 with a little more bottle age to add more complexity. It has the structure and acidity to continue to age well, yet it would make a great complement to your holiday dinners.
