Raspberry preserves, blackberry, currant, mossy earth, dried sage, plum, oak and hints of licorice. Great structure and well-integrated tannins.

Updating some quick tasting notes from my Napa trip a few weeks ago:

Are there better merlots? Yes. At this price point? Not that I've found. Enjoyable and easy wine to drink.

Cocoa, vanilla, dates, and ripe berries on the nose. Strawberry, tart blueberry on the tongue. Medium low tannin. Very drinkable!

Juguete de picina/ costillas adobadas. Sabor obscure bien para los lados y bien dulce pero en lo oscuro. Super similar a cabernet. El corcho tenia vino puede haber afectado. Chilling pero nada memorabelistico. Iffy

Soft, very little tannins, earthy, hints of plum.
