2006 Merlot Napa Valley

Purchase 2006 Merlot Napa Valley

Low-yielding blocks of hillside Merlot consistently yield highly seductive wine in tantalizingly small quantities. Cassis, cola, and black raspberry fruit aromas swell beneath a veil of clove and cinnamon-laced oak spices. Redolent, rich and round on the palate, with sappy, ripe-from-the-vine berry flavors and hints of white chocolate, a tether of fine tannins and acidity provides just enough restraint to prolong the pleasure. 225 cases produced.
