Beautiful expression of merlot. Plum, medium bodied. Well done.

A treat to enjoy on my birthday. This is a very well balanced Napa merlot...smells jammy and tastes the same. Not too gripping and very easy to drink. Could probably pop and pour. This is good juice and I'm becoming a big fan of this winery.

Full-bodied, but with such a floral lift, red fruits really jump out, the aromatics are enticing with a structured but soft palate. Oh Napa merlot, you seduce me so easily...

#Merlot with sweet fruit, nice oak finish and subtle spice.

Just started pouring this BTG today, and I'm not a regular Merlot drinker but this wine might change me!

I can’t believe so many people say they don’t like merlot. Clearly they’ve never had this. It’s delicious. Depth of flavor and still good fruit.

Excellent Merlot. Dominant flavors of blackberry, plum and bing cherry. Will buy again.
