Merlot at its best shows a tremendous range of aromas, from bright, gregarious cherries and raspberries to smoky, sultry cigar-in-a-jazz-club tones.  This newest Merlot release shows that full range of aromas.  While the tannins are without question completely soft and ready to enjoy, the flavors in the mid palate offer every reason to slow down and savor the moment.

Once in a handful of years, Mother Nature serves up a growing season in which every detail is just exactly right.  The 2016 Inspirado captures this season beautifully, showing warm blueberry, spiced plum, and dark cherry notes, all floating atop more subtle base notes of vanilla and toasty oak.

Fresh, bright lemon zest, fresh pineapple and white floral notes lift from the glass of this bright, clean Sauvignon Blanc, which a very subtle hint of vanilla and caramel add balance and complexity.  True to the Keever style, the wine displays a balanced acidity paired with a crisp, dry finish, and stands alone as gracefully as it pairs with lighter-style meals.
