Full Keel is our Merlot-forward red blend from Red Mountain, and the 2019 vintage is the most Merlot-dominant expression we’ve made. It opens with a generous, perfumed bouquet of dark cherry, baking spice, and cedar. The palate is plush and inviting, with soft red and black fruit rounded out by fine tannins from the Cabernet Sauvignon. True to form, the finish arrives fully and departs cleanly, without lingering too long.
