13' Hill Family Beau Terre Vineyard Merlot. Wonderful Merlot that's made with 20% Cabernet added to it. This will age very nicely. Going to be even better in two years. -at Hall Family tasting room Napa.

East drinking but good acidity to balance out the chocolate, berries, and touch of vanilla. Also good baking spice.

Tasting even better with some age. Balanced with espresso, dark chocolate cherries, some tree bark, raspberries, a bit of baking spice with cacao on the finish. Really wonderful Napa merlot.

Lovely Napa merlot. Needed 30 minutes of air. Dark chocolate cherries, blackberry, a hint of tobacco, some cedar, then more dark fruit. Some tannin with baking spice, cocoa, dried fruit on the finish.
