The 2024 Advice From John returns a gaze with a deep garnet core and a brooding cardinal rim. From the get-go, the aromatics jump from the glass with a perfume of blackberry, boysenberry, lilac, graphite and tarragon. Ripe blue fruits are prominent upon entry alongside a touch of savory and dried cherry covered in dark chocolate. Texture abounds with an energetic presence leading to a finish of nicely structured tannins and elegant lift.
Searching for some Advice? Well, you’ve come to the right place. Hot on the heels of a blistering inaugural release, Advice From John is back with the same intensity and richness that Merlot provides , paired with the eyecatching dive bar bathroom artwork captured by Dave Phinney’s longtime assistant, Samantha Smith. Sourced from premier vineyards across Northern California, the 2024 vintage stuns with its remarkable drinkability and finesse.
Merlot aged for 8 months in French oak, 25% new.
