2019 Sterling Merlot Napa Valley

Deep garnet with shimmering purple hues, the enticing red berry aromas and flavors leap from the glass in a bounty of fresh ripe fruits. Red raspberries, macerated strawberries, dark Bing cherry, and cassis please the palate, supported by nuances of oak spice alongside layers of dark chocolate, black tea, and a hint of orange peel. Rich in mouthfeel, but supple and silky in texture, leading to a long mouthwatering finish, making this Merlot an easy entertaining and quaffing wine with friends.
