Decanter, 91 Points 

“Big and bold, slightly high-toned style, with some serious oak and tick of mushroom and dried tobacco development joining plum and blueberry.” 

Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points 

"This is a soft and supple 100% varietal wine, made in an elegant, understated style. Blackberry, vanilla and leather provide substance and flavor. The oak is well integrated into the whole." 

Winemaker Notes: 

“This blend of our Mayacamas Estate and Rutherford Estate blocks
is a tribute to how the noble Merlot grape thrives in our Napa Valley. The sweet red fruit nose is abundant with fresh cherry, raspberry preserve and a hint of Bourbon vanilla. Plum and a very light cedar note emerge on the palate. Generous acidity and long soft tannins result in a lingering freshness that gives this wine exceptional versatility for entertainment and dining. ” 

Alcohol: 13.5%
