The 2019 J. O. Sullivan Founder Reserve is in a league of its own. This seriously built Merlot offers density and richness, yet its agility and freshness distinguish it as a wine of exceptional pedigree. The depths and layers continually expand, with cocoa powder tannins melting across the palate, giving a sense of sweetness. The classic savory notes of bitter chocolate and dry herbs are an inherent signature of the gravelly soils found in the vineyards. Blue fruits of bramble and blueberry are signatures of the 2019 vintage. This Merlot is the definition of luxury and should be enjoyed over the next 20 years\n\n
