Napa de Oro “Caroline’s” Red Blend Napa 2018

Any smart wine drinker knows that Merlot often over-delivers when the grape is taken seriously. The Grand Dame of Napa de Oro enjoys softer styles of wine, lending her name to the Merlot (55%) heavy blend. The wine is dark and sumptuous with dark chocolate flavors, blackberries, plums and from tannins that soften in a short amount of time. A little bit of Right-Bank Bordeaux in Napa.
