Napa Valley Merlot


Monthly WTF group. Theme this month was merlot. All wines tasted blind.
I called this 2012-2014 Napa merlot. Very balanced. Chalky tannins. Red, blue and black fruit. Aside from the Pedestal, I got more chocolate and dates here than the others. It wasn’t exuberant nor shy, just a nice “down the middle” wine. Thanks @Bill Makens

Nice fruit. I enjoyed it, not in the mood though.
