Beaulieu Vineyard Merlot Napa Valley 2016 sku_2240129 Lingering heat and sweet agaveIntriguing nuances of dark chocolate and dried Marasca cherries layer the ripe plum and blackberry notes of the Napa Valley Merlot. As you swirl the wine, youll also discover hints of black mission fig and licorice. On the palate, the textured flavors are plush and graceful, yet with ample structure.
