The 2012 Michael Black Vineyard Merlot is a truly delicious wine that is a benchmark for what Napa Merlot can be. Licorice, blackberry, and black olive offer a wide spectrum of aromas. It is a richly layered wine that delivers lots of spicy red and black fruit flavors with a fleshy and succulent mouthfeel. This is a highly structured wine whose complexities will evolve for another 5-10 years.

95% Merlot, 4 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Petit Verdot
