A first class Napa Merlot at a great price, this medium bodied wine is all dark cherries and black currants.

A cab lovers merlot! Good body and weight on the mid pallet. Herbal aromas with plum, cherries and blueberry on the pallet. Lovely velvety finish of coco and faint hint of sweet tobacco. Tons of fun!

Not typically a Merlot drinker, but this is very good. Well balanced. Velvety on the palate.

Smells of black cherry and berries. Fruity with balanced tannins and acidity. Not worth the price.
