Napa Valley Merlot
Napa Valley, California, USA
Nose full of red fruit, rhubarb, mint and clove.
Palate of cherries, bitter chocolate and clove.
This is Napa Valley Merlot all right. And it is delicious with a NY Strip.
Happy Merlot month everyone!

Looks like a current release - jet black w/sexy aromas of blackberries & plum, black cherry and blueberry - mocha & cocoa, just decadent. On the palate you get some Earth, licorice and gobs of dark fruit… smooth plush w/graceful tannins leading to persistent finish. It’s been awhile since I’ve had this stuff and it’s impressive!

Fantastic Merlot... I contend that when Merlot is above average it’s always one of the best things you can drink...

Amazing nose, fruit forward with dark berries, bing cherries, milk chocolate and a fine tartness. Long weighted finish.

My month of revisiting Merlot continues. Pop the cork, sip and repeat. This one will do the trick.
