Wine Details
Price:
$28.00 per bottle
Description:
Our first bottling of Napa Valley Merlot is the result of carefully chosen fruit from a handful of dynamic local vineyard sites. Crafted in an ultra ripe, fleshy and decidedly opulent style, our Merlot clearly mirrors the amazing growing conditions and overall quality of the vintage in 2001. Contrary to the notion that Merlot itself may often lack a certain punch, this wine provides plenty of depth and backbone with finely integrated tannins matched by a subtle beam of acidity…both of which are nicely framed by massively round fruit flavors. The addition of Cabernet Franc found within serves to heighten and expand on the floral cherry and briary blackberry notes that nearly leap from the glass on first impression. Supple yet lithe, this wine is deceptively ripe, rich and plush while amazingly versatile and food friendly.
