Merlot

Trinchero, California
Dark, rich, lush and remarkably smooth. It delivers the cedar, plum, ripe cherry and cassis character one associates with this noble grape.

Castle Rock Winery, Napa
Complex flavors of blackberries, cocoa, spice with wood. Notes of sweet French Oak along with hints of cedar unite to form a long smooth harmonious finish.

Coppola, Diamond Series, California
Succulent flavor of dark juicy plums, crushed blackberry and eucalyptus, while the small addition of Syrah adds a hint of warm spice. Aging in French Oak barrels provides a back-drop of vanilla.

St. Supery, Napa
Aromas are elegant with black cherry, blueberry, and subtle oak with a sprinkling of tobacco and anise. The palate is well structured with good width, yet is supple and elegant, offering flavors that linger through to the finish.

Sterling, Napa
A rich purple-violet hue, the wine shows a rich, deep fruit concentration and jamminess. Hints of spice and toasty oak reflect vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and cedar. The wine is bright and clear with a long full textured finish.
