Charles Krug Merlot 2016

Our Napa Valley Merlot has expressive aromas of ripe red and black fruit followed by hints of spice. Supple body and medium tannins envelop flavors of berry and cherry which linger on the palate through a long, smooth finish.

A Napa merlot that manages to be simultaneously ripe and fresh with plenty of blueberry and cranberry character. If there wasn̍t a touch of warmth from alcohol at the finish, it would rate higher.
