Napa Cellars from Napa Valley Merlot 2016 750ML

Merlot from Napa Valley, California

Notes from the Winemaker

Napa Cellars Merlot boasts aromas of dark cherry and concentrated dark fruit notes with hints of strawberry jam and vanilla. Flavors of plum, blackberry, caramel, and cocoa coat the palate and are complemented by smoky-oak, tobacco, and cedar notes. The wine finishes with a toasted, sweeter caramel and soy-like character. This wine showcases medium bodied, concentrated tannin in the mid-palate and part acidity that pairs well with a wide range of food.

Reviews and Accolades

90 Points/James Suckling
A bit dusty in the nose, but on the palate this crowd-pleasing merlot manages to be simultaneously ripe yet lively and supple. The discreet tannins hold it all together rather nicely. Drink or hold.
