Occasional wine note

This is a delicious, easy drinking Napa Valley Merlot. This just goes well with whatever you're doing and whenever you're doing it. Lush mouthfeel, fantastic fruit, chocolate, bits of spice, and everything nice. This one will be gone shortly after opening so you should just get 2 bottles!

Vinous

The 2021 Merlot is packed with dark blue/purplish fruit, new leather, spice, tobacco, mocha and licorice. Juice and enveloping, with terrific energy, the Merlot is absolutely delicious. the birghter style here is so compelling. Plush contours wrap it all together.

Wine Enthusiast

Plums and cherries accented by chunks of dark chocolate and a spiced finish, build a richly flavored and mouthwatering Merlot with a velvety textured, balanced acidity and a lot of persistence. Savory and satisfying.
