Merlot 500 Block - 2018; William Chris Vineyards; Hye, Texas

Wines made from Granite Hill Vineyard have been a great source for top quality wine.  Grapes harvested from the 500-block section are of exceptional quality. This 2018 vintage Merlot is no exception and delights all the senses. Decanting for a couple of hours is a must and while you wait you can relish the ever changing aromas from rosemary to violets. Those notes of plums and cherries are well pronounced in this medium bodied red wine. Just before that sensational finish, there is the subtle touch of vanilla to savor with a bit of minerality. As one of the first AVAs in Texas, Bell Mountain never disappoints with great fruit.  Hold on to any extra bottles you have and enjoy future sipping adventures as this spectacular red can continue to age in your cellar and continue to delight in years to come. Cheers!
