Wine Review Online Review
Rated 92
This wine gets at Merlot's capacity to deliver both black and red berry fruit together in a way that keeps each distinct from the other. A firm structure and big grip has the fruit subdued at present, but as the oak folds in this will be beautiful. I would cellar at least five years before going in. Note: I tasted this blind, and am not surprised at all by my notes when considering the source.

From its tempting aromas of ripe cherry and black raspberry to its sweet, dusty tannins and supple texture, this a lush and expansive expression of Napa Valley Merlot.

How To Serve

Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
