Grgich Hills Estate Merlot Napa Valley

California

Napa Valley

The 2021 Merlot is composed of 81% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it motors out with pronounced notes of juicy plums and black raspberries, leading to hints of tar, unsmoked cigars, and dusty soil. The medium to full-bodied palate reveals expressive plum and earthy flavors with a light chewiness to the texture and a savory lift on the finish.

A blend of 89% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc,  the 2019 Merlot is deep garnet-purple colored. It opens with notes of stewed black plums and sauteed herbs, followed by hints of rubber and asphalt. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is savory and chewy, with a stewed tea grip on the finish.
