"The black/ruby/purple-colored 1997 Merlot Bismark Ranch (14.5% alcohol) reveals a spicy nose of wood smoke, chocolate, and blackberry jam. Additional coffee nuances appear in the flavors. This full-bodied powerhouse is one of the finest, most concentrated Merlots I have tasted. It is not for wine wimps!"

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
