Napa Valley Merlot 2002

Varietals: 95% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc

Maturation: 50% new French oak for 17 months in our caves before being bottle

Tasting notes / Reviews: This wine features black cherry and currant fruits with smoky, toasty oak and layers of spices.  On the palate, the Merlot has a rich core of black cherry and plum flavors with hints of anise and spice. Full bodied with toast and ripe chocolaty tannins which linger on the finish.

“Fully drinkable now, because the tannins are smooth, soft and approachable, and the flavors are so lush and easy. Cherries, blackberries, milk chocolate, anise and cola mingle with toasty oak, leaving a long, spicy finish.” 89 points - Wine Enthusiast- S.H.
