2019 Reserve Napa Valley Merlot #2 Wine of the Year '24 perfectly ripe black fruitsThe aromatic nose is full of briary red berries, cassis, and fresh fig, alongside delicate oak notes of espresso and cocoa nib. These oak characteristics intermingle well with the red berry fruit flavors creating a well rounded expression that is the perfect accompaniment with any meal. The tannins are focused and approachable with a lovely line of acidity that beams through the lengthy finish. Incredibly drinkable now and can be aged for many years
