Grgich Hills 2012 Estate Grown Merlot (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Estate Grown
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: Grgich Hills / Napa Valley

Brawny and concentrated in black fruit, this wine includes 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and is touted as a Cab-lover’s Merlot by the winery. It indeed is, with its juicy blackberry, cherry, espresso and clove notes, while remaining varietally correct in terms of its mellowed tannins.
