Our 2016 Sonoma County Merlot follows in the Toad Hollow tradition of over delivering well-made and luscious wines. Because the vintage was nearly picture perfect, this Merlot flaunts the classic characters that make this variety so appealing - aromatic red fruits, gentle tannins and a soft finish. Berry pie and rose petal fragrance mix with a whisper of cedar. Plushy black cherry and mocha flavors in the mid-palate give way to easy tannins that frame a delicate finish of bright berry fruit.
