Merlot Oakville Napa Valley “Fortuna Vineyard”

Merlot Oakville Napa Valley “Fortuna Vineyard” Wine Details
Price: $45.00 per bottle

Description: In the glass it displays a dark ruby/purple color. As it sits, the wine displays opulent aromas and flavors of ripe black cherries, raspberries, and currants. As you continue, notes of leather, red cedar, smoke, mint, and white pepper begin to emerge as well. It’s all tied together with a balanced acidity and smoothing tannins that mellow as it takes in air. This wine is just beginning to emerge from its shell; it will really benefit from another year or so of bottle age and should continue to improve for the next twenty. 95 cases produced.
