Napa Valley Merlot
Napa Valley, California, USA
For a classic Chicago steak house dinner, this is a great Merlot to go with. Nicely balanced, brighter than expected acidity, smooth.

Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe dark fruits, sweet herb spice and espresso notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, plum and black cherry with toasty oak, cacao and espresso. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and sweet pepper spice. Still has room to age, but nice now!

It’s time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark purple in color with a short purple rim.
Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and fruit forward.
Rich, yet elegant
Showing black plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, diet cola, tobacco, chocolates, peppercorn and light candy notes.
Nice finish with soft tannins and cherries.
This is a tasty Merlot from the Wagner family. Nicely balanced, easy drinking and good for parties.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime. Good by itself or with food.
I've had a few vintages of this Merlot, and it is very consistent.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
14.6% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$57.

Smooth but full strength impression across the palate. This is such a beautiful Merlot year after year.

Thick but well balanced. 10 years in and the fruit was still lively but tannins were chilled out.

So plush, rounded and consistent. Wood treatment presents a lot of vanillin, which relaxes over time. Overall, nicely presented. Will certainly purchase more.
