From 375ml. Who says Napa merlot can’t age? 16 years young, this wine is fresh and vibrant. With typical Spring Mountain structure, the tannins provide ample backbone to match the bright fruit. I don’t see it evolving from here but seems in no danger of deteriorating anytime soon. About as good as Napa merlot gets.
