Community Tasting Note

Friday, September 1, 2017 - It was time to open my last two bottles of this delicious Merlot. I still struggle to understand why my North American friends shy away from the Merlot grape - it is a great wine grape and really undervalued in Nappa. One of the best Bordeaux is a 100% Merlot.

The Northstar is a very good Merlot - still lagging some delicious wines from Tuscany or Bordeaux but on a good route of a great Merlot for the New Worlds. Worth to keep a couple of bottles at home.

It tastes like black currant (cassis), grapefruit, raisin, vanilla and chocolate. The body is medium. The wine has satin-like texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.
