This wine is a classic example of a Napa Valley Merlot. With its Ruby color, hints of Garnet, it reveals aromas of graphite, toast and blueberry. On the palate, the wine immediately opens up with a barrage of orange blossom, plum and cherry preserves, adding to the dry medium-full body and a warming complexity of dark chocolate and espresso beans. The finish goes a long way with well integrated chewy tannins and medium acidity.
