2020 Overtime Reserve Merlot

Release: 2020 Overtime Reserve Merlot

Wine: 100% Merlot

Winemaker's Notes: Crafted from an extraordinary vintage, the 2020 Overtime Reserve Merlot is a masterclass in patience and precision. From vineyard to cellar, every decision was deliberate—meticulous vineyard care, near-perfect harvest conditions, and long hours on the crush pad that stretched well past sundown. Our winemaker hand-selected the finest barrels, aging this wine for over three years in carefully chosen French oak barriques, ensuring unparalleled depth, richness, and refinement.

This full-bodied, fruit-driven Merlot unfolds with deep layers of ripe plum, dark cherry, blackberry, and cassis, seamlessly integrated with notes of mocha, vanilla bean, and baking spice. Structured yet velvety, its elegant tannins and lingering finish make it both a pleasure to enjoy now and a prime candidate for extended cellaring.

A true expression of craftsmanship, this Reserve bottling represents the pinnacle of Overtime’s commitment to excellence—bold, balanced, and built to stand the test of time.
