2005 Merlot - Sonoma Valley - $28
The Los Carneros region is one of the few places that Merlot grows successfully. As a serious alternative to the great Cabernet, Merlot offers a luscious rich bold wine with softer tannins. Fruit forward in style, deep blackberry & plum flavors balanced with French oak set up for a long lasting finish. Pair with beef steak, lamb or hearty pastas.
