A first class Napa Merlot at a great price, this medium bodied wine is all dark cherries and black currants.

This was a pleasant surprise wine for a great price. Chelsea and I enjoyed it immensely with bread, cheese, antipasto salad and Zuppa Toscana (homemade) soup. It was smooth and balanced and very easy drinking. It would pair well with a lit of different foods. I will have to put this on the list to purchase more!

A cab lovers merlot! Good body and weight on the mid pallet. Herbal aromas with plum, cherries and blueberry on the pallet. Lovely velvety finish of coco and faint hint of sweet tobacco. Tons of fun!

Not typically a Merlot drinker, but this is very good. Well balanced. Velvety on the palate.
