NAPA VALLEY | CALIFORNIA | $50
Supple dark-berry fruit, but only the deepest flavors of the fruit. Soft spice notes with a wisp of bay and coriander. Firm, chewy tannins. Balanced from end to end; starts and finishes with confidence. Nothing to hide here; this is what Napa Merlot can and should be. Sorry Miles, but good Merlot is simply good. An excellent wine.
