Dark red. Bitter cherry, plum, licorice and menthol on the nose and palate, lifted by spices and fresh herbs. A bit narrow on the palate, with pronounced licorice and herbal notes, but also shows good lift and definition. With modest stuffing, the tannins turn a bit dusty and dry with air.

Nothing Sideways

This is definitely a Napa wine. Brought back memories of numerous trips through the valley stopping and tasting the offerings of many great winery's in the late 80s and early 90s. Nose was lush and fruity. This merlot is not the flabby and bland wine panned in the movie Sideways. This is a well structured red that can hold its own with many well regarded Napa cabernets. Having lived in California for 12 years I am biased to the fruit and spice present in this wine combined with a solid tannic backbone.
