Truchard
Carneros Merlot
2020 vintage. A blend of 75% ( the legal minimum for varietal labelling) Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. From vineyards in the northeastern part of Carneros. The Merlot is harvested from 5 different hillside locations. Hard to beat for value in Napa. Abv. 14,2%. Raspberry, black cherries, strawberry jam, clove,a hint of fresh mint,and some truffle lurking in the background. Ripe red fruit, a solid silky tannic backbone, good acidity, and serious length. Abv. 14,2%. Highly recommended.
