Merlot, Los Carneros, Napa Valley, 2009

  • Previous
  • Next

Aromas and flavors of red cassis and tart plum with hints of earthy dried herbs and cacao nibs. The wine has a nice weight that fills the mid-palate, yet finishes long and clean with bright, mouth watering acidity... an ideal candidate for the dinner table.
