Napa Valley Merlot

Napa Valley Merlot Wine Details
Price: $24.00 per bottle

Description: This wine features the good deep, plummy fruit of southern Napa Valley and Carneros, and a heightened aromatic spice from its 5% Cabernet Franc. On the palate, the wine has a bright, lively entry followed by a fleshy mid-palate, where the engaging, powdery texture leads to the softly-framing tannins. The wine persists as well as any Napa Valley Merlot in memory. All this to make a wine that offers its best with food, not a monster for shows. If there’s a word for that, it’s “balance.” It’s our basic ideal, because it describes wines that give drinking pleasure at the table.
