Napa Valley, California, USA
Aromas of black cherry, blueberry, chocolate, vanilla and toast. Ripe cherry, underripe blueberry and black currant on palate with spice box notes, a little hot almost upon opening.

84/100 Solid producer, have had the Cab before and this is a good new world Merlot, definitely above the line but over priced at €26.
Starts by offering a floral nose with red fruit as expected, strong merlot characteristics with subdued spice.
The palate has red slightly tart fruit, but not over the top. There is some shallowness in the dry finish which prevents 4.0

Brief crisp initial acidity and mild astringency. Flavors of cherry and bittersweet berries. Drinkable.

Oak and pure blueberries. Drinks a little like a cab. Wanting more fruit and spice for a merlot.
