Fragrant and forward, this is an appealing Merlot with tart, raspberry fruit married to chocolatey oak. It's a high acid, rich tannin style, and the wine does a good job of scraping the palate clean. It would make a very nice match for an oily fish such as salmon or ahi. Young, tight, tart and very tannic at this stage of the game, it feels just a bit thin in the finish. Give it some serious breathing time.

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.
