Cakebread Cellars
Napa Valley Merlot
Perfectly in it’s drinking window! Soft tannins, dark fruit character. Very expressive wine. Smells of dirt, decomposing leaves, blackberry, leather, slight tobacco box. I am so glad I waited to drink this one. If you have this wine in this vintage, now is the time!
