WineO Mark Review

On the nose, the wine reveals notes of cherry, plum, dark chocolate, and oak.

Delightful juicy flavors of red and dark fruits such as black cherry, plum, blackberry, and raspberry emerge upfront. It’s then followed by hints of mint leaf, smoke, and dark chocolate. Leading to a long velvety smooth finish that’s very enjoyable.

This wine was just recently awarded a silver medal in the SF Chronicle Wine Competition. And well-deserved, it’s a well-priced and delicious Napa Valley Merlot.
