This lush, full-bodied Merlot from Beaulieu Vineyard (BV) is a classic representation of Napa Valley Merlot. On the nose, aromas of dark cherry and sweet vanilla lead to a palate of intense dark berry and plum flavors, with hints of chocolate, leather and tobacco. The finish is smooth and supple, with a long, lingering finish of ripe dark fruit. Enjoy this Merlot with a variety of dishes, from juicy steaks to creamy pasta dishes.
