2007 Suscol Ranch Merlot, Napa Valley

There is no mistaking this wine with any other. This 2007 Suscol Ranch Merlot has briary aromatics with a dark plum and wild berry flavor that is juicy upon entry. Layer upon layer of dust, earth, herb and cedar intermix with the fruit, creating a complex medley of flavors. Its unique, supple character is full and lively on the palate. From year to year, this wine’s distinctiveness lies in the lush, velvety tannins that expand upon the initial sip and develop with richness through the finish.
