Napa Valley Merlot
Napa Valley, California, USA
Fourth of our seven year vertical tonight....Scratch that the 2014 came out too.
Medium to deep ruby red. Notes of strawberries, bramble berries, anise and tobacco on the nose. Medium plus tannins (7/10) and medium plus body. Nice amount of cocoa, anise, black currants and woody. Drink till 2020.

Nose is very shy. Cassis and blueberries meld onto a mineral-driven palate. Lacking the richness, density and sweetness we have come to expect. A good expression of the varietal from a relatively poor vintage.
