Nose

Our ’97 Merlot is a deep red wine with a beautifully integrated nose of black fruits, vanillin, and anise with toasted oak notes.

Palate

This wine is very soft in the mouth but backed up with nice structure. A very rich wine, it has a finish that seems to go on for minutes. A classic Leonetti Merlot with good aging potential.

Aging

This wine was aged in a mix of new Hungarian, American, and French oak barrels.
