description: A beautiful Merlot that shows how well this variety grows in a great vineyard on the Napa side of the Carneros appellation. It's rich and complex in cherry, spice and oak flavors, with an umami taste of cured meat, and the tannins are rich and firm. The wine shows the crisp, mouthwatering acidity of Carneros, especially in this cool vintage. Drink now–2013 for freshness.
