In my glass, the enduring 2009 Materra Merlot, crafted with estate fruit from the Oak Knoll District in the Napa Valley, source of some of Napa's best merlot. Still showing floral and fruity aromatics, delicious black and red fruits, dusty cocoa, and spice. $40, purchased at the winery.

Finally tasted wonderful wines from Materra in the Oak Knoll district of Napa. Estate vineyard. Supple Merlot with tannins of velvet. Deep blackberry notes.
