This vibrant Merlot is full of fresh Bing cherry, raspberry and ripe plum notes on the nose, while savory earthy aromas inspired by the estate terroir come through in the secondary aromas offering dried chaparral herb spices, camphor and cocoa nib — also influences from the well-integrated French oak barrels. A true example of how Merlot can shine in Napa Valley, there is brightness, focus and balance while backed up by the smooth, rich, velvety texture, layered with red fruits interwoven with power, depth, and complexity. This sophisticated and elegant Merlot is the Audrey Hepburn of wine — a classic, finishing gracefully and long with fine grained tannins and everlasting flavors showing the beauty of our estate fruit.
