1990 Merlot

ABOUT MERLOT

Our Napa Valley collection of wines is crafted with the same approach to winemaking as our limited-production estate wines, using great care in harvesting and handling the grapes, and a measured hand in the cellar, to produce wines of supple power, elegance, and age-worthiness.  Like all of our wines, estate-grown grapes are the heart and soul of this Napa Valley Merlot,  joined by high-quality fruit purchased from independent growers who farm their vines to our precise specifications.

TASTING NOTES

This Merlot offers generous aromas of ripe plums and red fruits along with toffee, nutmeg, and tobacco. Medium-bodied, the wine has a juicy mouthfeel with supple tannins and a long finish filled with dried cranberry and hints of clove.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Enjoy with roasted chicken with sautéed wild mushrooms or herb-crusted pork chops.
