This is another terrific Napa red from the problematic 2020 vintage.
Purple in color with a short purple rim.
Full-bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
This Napa Merlot is still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already enjoyable, even by itself.

Nicely balanced and delicious. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
A blend of 68% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged for 20 months in (55% New) French Oak barrels.

Still showing a lot of tannic and acidic structure, but enough fruit to keep it in check once it had a few hours of air, youthful still, and brawny. — 15 days ago
