Hundred Knot Merlot 2019
DOUBLE GOLD
San Francisco Chronicle
Tasting Notes
Often cast as the black sheep of the valley, Napa Merlot deserves a place on your table. This classic example is bursting with black cherry, bramble, plum, hoisin, and black tea. Subtle notes of milk chocolate, mocha, bay leaf, sage, vanilla, and clove are interwoven with concentrated layers of juicy, ripe fruit framed by velvety plush tannins.
Pairing
Korean BBQ, hot pot, charcuterie, or simply enjoy a glass by itself
