In the nose and on the palate, this full-bodied Merlot is dominated by lovely layers of Black Doris plum, dark cherry, cocoa powder and nougat. This wine showcases why Carneros Merlot grapes have always been an important part of our Napa Valley Merlot. Despite its smooth, velvety texture, there is an intensity that speaks to the winemaker's love of structured, age-worthy Merlots.
