title: Switchback Ridge 1999 Peterson Family Vineyard Merlot (Napa Valley)
description: Kicks off with gobs of chocolate and spice aromas, then fans out to reveal layers of black currant, blackberry, coffee, herb and spice flavors. A touch of acidity accentuates the tannins, but the wine is richly textured, full bodied and delightful nonetheless. Full, ripe and distinctive.
variety: Merlot
