A full-bodied yet supple wine, this Napa Valley Merlot has good structure, with excellent acidity. This wine balances the rich abundance of Merlot's black currant aromas and flavors with the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and the influences of new French oak. Full-bodied with soft, round tannins and plush mouthfeel, this Merlot shows a mature intensity that extends all the way into a smooth, silken finish.
