St. Supéry 2008 Estate Merlot (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Estate
Variety: Merlot California
Winery: St. Supéry / Napa Valley

The attack, or entry, of this Merlot is a massive assault of flavor. It’s all raspberry and cherry jam, dark chocolate and the creamy caramel of new oak. Delicious, yes, but where’s the subtlety? Drink now.
