The 181 referred to in the name of this California red refers to the clone of Merlot from Bordeaux, France. This is a very nice wine with dark cherry, eucalypt, spice and raspberry notes on the nose. It’s quite smooth on the palate with intense red fruits and a touch of licorice and spice, plush tannins and long finish. A great find!
