Under the table tasting. Secret stash...for a reason. Smooth. Mellow tannins. Bold fruit.

Another lovely Napa mountain wine: baked blueberries, blackberries, black plums laced with dark chocolate covered coffee beans. Fab balance!

Was expecting a big cab lovers merlot with rich dark mountain fruit. Instead this is refined if somewhat muted, medium-bodied, red fruit dominant, unmistakably merlot with some right bank influence.

A favorite of a friend and CMOH Recipient - deep rich red fruit and color, well balanced with smooth finish
