James Suckling, 92 Points 

"A soft and juicy red with plum, tile and blackberry aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied and juicy with a black-olive undertone. A blend of estate, mountain fruit and Carneros." 

Wine Advocate, 91 Points 

"Mostly from the estate's Spring Mountain property, with a bit of Carneros fruit as well, Keenan's 2019 Merlot features attractive scents of black cherries, mocha and toasted oak. This 100% Merlot is medium to full-bodied, smooth, silky, nicely rounded and ripe, with decent length. It's a solid all-around effort that sells for a reasonable price." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The 2019 Keenan Napa Valley Merlot shows intense aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and cassis. Complex nuances of cocoa and coffee bean emerge as the wine opens up." 

Alcohol: 14.3%
