Cakebread Cellars Merlot, 2018

This Merlot is crafted from a combination of grapes from Cakebread's Napa Valley estate vineyards, including Suscol Springs Ranch and a warm valley floor vineyard in Rutherford. The result is a bold, structured wine with concentrated flavors of black plum and blackberry, as well as hints of dried herbs and mineral notes. The texture is silky and the tannins are elegant.
