Comments:

The nose of this wine is loaded with ripe berries and plum. The flavor reflects this heavy fruit flavor but backs very quickly into a slightly tannin pucker. The wine lacks the depth and complexity you would expect to find in a wine of this price range.

 

From the Label:

Welcome to Napa Valley Vineyards where the unique richness and quality of the Napa Valley is reflected in every bottle of wine we produce. We invite you to enjoy our Napa Valley Merlot filled with rich aromas of plum and black cherry complimented with delicate notes of toast and spice. The tannins are beautifully integrated resulting in a soft, sophisticated wine with an elegant finish.
