Beringer Vineyards
Bancroft Ranch Vineyard Merlot
Howell Mountain, Napa Valley, California, USA
2/5/17 CVed nose of dark cherries and plums and fruit that faded into earthier tones. Palate still firm with resolving tannins and spicy notes and finishes long, though with some jamminess lingering. Opened 12/28/21 and upped to 9.1!
