Provenance Vineyards
Napa Valley Merlot
Napa Valley, California, USA
A nice old bottle. Love the funk (wasn’t expecting) structure and complexity. Could’ve done with less alcohol. No complaints on fruit level which concerned me at first but after opening up provided a foil for the heat. Younger I wouldn’t have liked this as much but now it’s singing.
