Cakebread Cellars
Napa Valley Merlot
Napa Valley, California, USA
Blend of mostly Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Syrah and Cabernet Franc, deep Ruby color with aromas of berry fruits and cedar herb spice, 17 months in 44% new French oak. On the palate flavors of black cherry, blueberry and plum with vanilla spice, espresso, leather and cedar herb notes. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, toasty earthy mineral layered with sweet spicy character. Nice!

Have the Cabernet but somehow the app shows the Merlot. Cocoa and dark cherries very smooth had it with an Italian pasta
