Pretty, yet racy acid structures dominate. Green Apple Jolly Ranchers and Plumeria provide the beautiful aromatics while the palate is full throttle key lime and orange goodness. | Jessica Gasca for Story of Soil

Exotic aromas emerge from the glass in concert suggesting notes of black tea, tart bramble fruits, quince, and anise. The densely layered palate is defined by a fine-tuned structure highlighting notes of pomegranate, lavender, and fresh sage. | Thomas Rivers Brown for Boars' View

Deep ruby red in the glass, the flagship Swanson Merlot opens with ripe red fruits, silky cherry, raspberry, and juicy plum. Smooth and velvety on the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied offering a well-balanced combination of fruit flavors and refined tannins. Ripe red and dark fruits continue to dominate, complemented by hints of chocolate and tobacco. The wine's structure provides an elegant and approachable finish that makes it age worthy for up to 10 years. | Swanson Vineyards
