James Suckling, 93 Points

“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.”

Wine Spectator, 90 Points

“Firm, with a snap of dried green herbs to the dried cherry and berry flavors. Minerally midpalate, with a finish thats 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 caf 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.”
