Dark purple color turning violet at the rim with a perfumed, floral nose of rose petals, lavender and red fruits. The palate is rich, voluptuous, and velvety with ripe flavors of cherry, plum, liqueur, espresso and tobacco. This is a Merlot-predominant blend, but could be considered a Cabernet drinker's Merlot, and unmistakably Napa in character. Finishes long with hints of spice and dried herbs. One of the best Napa Merlots I've tasted in this price point. Drink now with 30 minutes decanting or from 2015 to 2025.

Definitely time to drink this bottle. Any longer and I think it would have lost its body.

This wind is excellent! Very smooth and fruit forward with lots of raspberry vanilla and chocolate notes.
