2018 TY CATON UPPER BENCH MOON MOUNTAIN DISTRICT MERLOT "The 2018 Ty Caton Upper Bench Merlot from the Caton Vineyard in the Moon Mountain District is a divine example of intense and complex mountain fruit with aromas of mocha, roasted coffee beans, red plums, black currants, brown sugar, and truffles. On the palate, the wine is velvety smooth with flavors of blackberries, dark chocolate, and salted caramel. This wine’s structure and fruit concentration will allow for further development in the cellar but also a smooth rendezvous when patience is not a virtue." 93 Points
