2016 VINTAGE ONLY; 92 POINTS WINE ADVOCATE - A blend of sour cherry and Bing cherry flavors provide the background to this showstopper. This Napa Valley Merlot has a lovely balance of candied cherry laced with dark chocolate aromas. Floral fruit runs from strawberry preserves to boysenberry and is accented with oak and an assortment of baking spices. The velvety entry melts like chocolate on the palate providing a silky but dense mouthfeel with a long, intense finish.
