The 2018 Merlot Lyla is composed of 100% Merlot coming from Sugarloaf Mountain vineyard in south Napa. Deep garnet-purple colored, it slips sensuously out of the glass with compelling notes of baked plums and stewed cherries, plus wafts of bay leaves and tree bark. The palate is medium to full-bodied, soft, juicy and wonderfully approachable now, finishing long and fragrant. 100 cases were made.

The 2018 Lyla comes from the Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard and I believe is a Merlot-dominated blend, which was a variety that excelled in 2018. Beautiful black cherry and cassis fruits as well as hints of iron, violets, and sappy herbs flow to a full-bodied red blend with nicely integrated acidity, ripe tannins, and just a layered, seamless, silky texture that keeps you coming back to the glass.
