2020 Charles Krug Napa Valley Merlot [JS93][WS90]

"Currants and berries with some pine-bark undertones. Violets and earth, too. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. Merlot character. Really delicious now, but can age." 

"Firm, with a snap of dried green herbs to the dried cherry and berry flavors. Minerally midpalate, with a finish that’s filled with toasty notes and hints of mocha." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"This 2020 Napa Valley Merlot has expressive aromas of fresh, crushed black cherries, black currant, blueberry compote, and violet followed by lovely hints of café au lait, dark bittersweet chocolate, a touch of wintergreen and root beer. This medium-bodied wine delights with subtle creamy texture and flavors of cherry and red currant. It concludes with dark chocolate, black cherry and toasted oak notes that linger on the medium-to-long finish."
