title: Madorom 2008 Merlot (Napa Valley)
description: Huge, gigantic, so impressive for its sheer volume of fruit. At the age of nearly five years, it's as fresh as the day it was released, with rich flavors of cherries, red currants and dark chocolate. Shows Merlot's soft tannins, making it lovely to drink now, but should continue to develop over the next 6–8 years.
variety: Merlot
