Quattro Theory Merlot Napa Valley, 2022

Nose & Taste Notes

Quattro's winemaker, Landon Donley, is focused on making vibrant, fresh and impeccably balanced wines. Their Merlot comes from a slow-ripening vineyard site that produces fruit with rich, velvety tannins. Aging the wine primarily in larger French oak barrels emphasizes the mid-palate texture, varietal aromatics, and flavors. This cool climate Merlot is designed for food. It is balanced in all aspects with medium bodied red fruit, soft plum, wet earth, a hint of coffee bean, wild strawberry, black cherry, and green olive. The rich and broad palate leads to a long and juicy finish.
