Lexicon Merlot 2019

Displaying a deep garnet hue, the Lexicon Merlot opens with a bouquet of ripe black cherry, plum, and subtle hints of forest floor leaf, underscored by a whisper of cedar from well-judged oak integration. The palate is medium-bodied, offering a harmonious blend of velvety tannins and balanced acidity, which frames the core of dark fruit flavors and a touch of cocoa. The finish is smooth and lingering, with a gentle spice that speaks to its refined craftsmanship. This Merlot stands as a commendable example of New World elegance, suitable for both immediate enjoyment and short-term cellaring.
