Beaucanon 2011 Cuvée Louis Merlot (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Cuvée Louis
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: Beaucanon / Napa Valley

A healthy addition of 12% Petit Verdot plays well in this wine. This is exuberant in black plum, chocolate and black pepper, with full-bodied and present oak, yet it also has a soft, approachability to the palate.
