Info

our benchmark your reference point for Napa Valley Merlot The Napa Valley is a wonderland for growing great Bordeaux varieties. Intense daytime heat is mitigated throughout the region by rolling fogs sweeping in off the Pacific, and cooler-temperature pockets exist throughout the Valley, especially in the southern reaches. Whereas varieties like Cabernet thrive in warm areas, earlier ripeners such as Merlot can work magic in precisely these more temperate mesoclimates. Napa Cellars sought out a number of these spots to grow their Merlot, and it pays dividends in a wine of superb balance and poise, combining rich, ripe fruit with a lively freshness and elegance. NAPA CELLARS MERLOT 2007 Napa Valley, California 161299 (XD) 750 mL $23.95 This wine garnered a Platinum Medal – the highest honours – at the 2010 San Diego International Wine Competition. TASTING NOTE: A great buy in a smooth, dry Merlot that shows real Napa elegance and style. It’s mediumbodied and lush, with appealing cherry, currant, licorice, tobacco, mocha and spice flavors. Drink now for the immediate appeal. Score: 90 (Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 15, 2010)
