agree with MXL - a powerful (yet slightly over-oaked) example of what napa merlot can be...just as good as their cab counterparts at a fraction of the price. Surprisingly, the wife loved it and wants me to seek out more (and she likes elegant wines). Summary: powerful and full of flavor with a surprising elegance for such a full bodied merlot. I like.

powerful merlot here with a nose of slight chocolate, tobacco and good oak. thick and rich in the mouth not a wimpy merlot. blackberry reduction with leather is the best way to describe it. was initially hesitant about how this would taste but in the end very, very happy with the results. congrats to Ahnfeldt!!
