Country: US /
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: Salexis / Napa Valley
With its bone-dry, peppery, black currant and black cherry flavors, this is undeniably a Bordeaux-style wine, but it’s all Merlot, not Cabernet, in its broad palate appeal. Despite the sizable tannins, it has an immediacy that makes it pleasurable now with steaks and chops.
