Whitehall Lane 2012 Merlot (Napa Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: Whitehall Lane / Napa Valley

Nicely perfumed on the nose, this Merlot has 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah blended in, giving it a well-rounded composition and bright black cherry around firm, still prominent tannins. It could use some time in the cellar, through 2018, or a decant.
