2005 Merlot Napa Valley

A wine of grace that celebrates the elegant capabilities of California fruit and a truly exceptional vintage. Remarkably food-friendly and versatile at table, this is a great wine with roast meats, grilled meats or just cozying up to the fire. A strong sense of place owes itself to coveted grapes from a prized vineyard situated behind the St. Helena Library, where locals walk their dogs along trails in the heart of Napa Valley.

Rich, deep and balanced, the earthy wine is black as night in the glass and displays aromas of tobacco and leather, much like the scent of those old, bound library books. In the mouth, it’s briary, offering flavors of mixed black and red fruits, sprinkled with a kiss of sweet baking spices that will perk up your plate or your next meal.
