$150 each
Our 1996 Napa Valley Reserve Merlot is from the heart of Napa Valley, an area best known for its big Cabernet. This Merlot fits that style…brawny, with a distinctive mouth feel and structure, like a Bordeaux from St. Emilion. As with the best of French Merlots, this one is blended with a bit of Cabernet Franc to broaden and lengthen the finish, then aged for 3 years in French oak. Drink it now as you would a big Cab.
