CAKEBREAD MERLOT 2012 750ML

Winemaker’s Notes

The 2012 Napa Valley Merlot immediately captures attention with its perfumed black cherry, red plum and blackberry aromas, which are nicely complemented by hints of mineral and dried herbs. Boasting considerable depth and concentration on the palate, the wine offers rich, vibrant, dark cherry and plum flavors, with notes of sage, tea-leaf spice and a flinty minerality adding zest to the long, cherry-laced finish. Immensely appealing now, this fragrant, delicious Merlot will profit from another 5-7 years’ aging.

An excellent companion to pork, pheasant and veal.
