On the merlot - lower on tannins - Megan didn't like it as much as the last one, and talked about preferring less "jizzy" wines

The tasting menu said, "Velvety cocoa powder and red currants are magnified by French Oak in this all-American classic. $25 per bottle".

This was one of the wineries Megan and April visited along with other people from the Ricca family as part of the Ricca Family Reunion. The particular trip for these notes was 2018.

Notes from tasting:

peaceful white - not bad for a white wine. not sweet, but maybe a bit sour

Cabernet Franc - watery. Makes mouth feel dry, but pleasant. "high in tannins, so little body". Favorite of the day for Megan.

merlot - lower on tannins - Megan didn't like it as much as the last one, and talked about preferring less "jizzy" wines

Pinot noir - Megan liked just the same as the Cabernet Franc

cab rosé - april thought it was weird flavored. Megan thought it was decent. very dry for a rosé

mango Berry - sweet wine possibly too sweet

See the [Google doc] for pictures and notes from the trip. Everything should be here already, but linking all the same.
