Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points 

"This is a fine wine, blended with 12% Petit Verdot and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon. Perfumed in violet and sage, it has grip and expansive weight flavored in red currant and plum. The finish is soft, lush and dusted in cocoa powder."  

Winemaker Notes: 

"In the glass, our Napa Valley Merlot offers intense aromas of plum, crushed red fruits and dried oregano, developing into more floral tones of violets and wet slate. The palate displays generous layers of red fruits, ripe plum, brown sugar and blackcurrants with more savory characteristics of seasoned leather and black tea on the finish. Texturally soft with firm tannins, which provide structure, this wine shows balance and persistence throughout the palate." 

Alcohol: 14.6% 

Sustainably farmed.
