CHARLES KRUG MERLOT
- A real crowd pleasing merlot.
- Ripe red fruit and a hint of mineral notes.
- Silky richness, plus notes of tobacco and spice.
Our Napa Valley Merlot has ripe cherry and berry aromas that are in full bloom in this wine. It is what one would to refer to as a Cab Lover's Merlot. With mocha, red currant and vanilla notes, this medium bodied, well balanced wine with silky, smooth tannins ends in a long, lingering finish.
"A finely made Merlot with smaller amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Malbec and Petit Verdot blended in. It offers soft red currant fruit, with a nice integration of tannins on the palate. There's a long grip of black pepper and clove on the finish, and the wine is balanced in weight and alcohol."
