A nice offering, very dark color, rich berry fruit aromas with earthy tones. On the palate blackberry and black cherry flavors with sweet spice, herb and cacao notes, rich with tangy juicy full flavors. Full tannins, long finish with oak and earthy tobacco ending. Ok now but will age well!

Got better as the night went on. Red rivers of black cherry blended with caramel and butterscotch. A stop and enjoy wine.

Tried another bottle. A very nice offering, from the partners of Far Niente, who established N&N in 1997. Very dark Ruby, rich berry fruit aromas with earthy tones. On the palate juicy blackberry and black cherry flavors with sweet herb spice and cacao notes, rich with tangy with full flavors. Full rich tannins, long finish with oak and earthy tobacco ending. Tastes great, will age well!

Pretty tight on the open. Let it sit and will mellow out. Big red fruit - raspberry and cherry, oak and vanilla.

This is a fantastic Merlot. I'd say great gift wine and a good jump into Californian wines. Don't miss out.
