Black Hills Estate Addendum

The 2018 Addendum is concentrated and built to last, with aromas of red currant, raspberry and cherry. This red fruit follows through on the palate with nuances of milk chocolate, cedar, fresh herbs and mint. It has great, firm acidity reflecting the slightly cooler vintage. "Our 2018 bottling of Addendum continues to showcase the unique and concentrated aromas of Merlot from our Black Sage Bench vineyards. This year we have sharpened the focus of the blend to include only Merlot (86%) and Cabernet Franc (14%). The small percentage of Cabernet Franc allows the Merlot to shine, while also bringing a subtle red fruit and herbal complexity to the blend. The Cabernet Franc also contributes a fine and elegant tannin structure, which supports and compliments the silkiness and richness of the Merlot" Ross Wines, MW
