Hill Family Estate 2012 The Barrel Blend Red (Napa Valley)

Country: US / The Barrel Blend
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Hill Family Estate / Napa Valley

Merlot forms the core of this blend, supported by smaller amounts of Syrah, Zinfandel, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. A note of black olive opens the wine, which is soft, full-bodied and tart in red plum, the tannins chewy on the finish.
