About the Merryvale Napa Valley Cabernet 2018 750ml
Bright, fresh and vibrant while rooted with a savory core, this is pure Napa in a glass. Aromas of leather, tobacco, cassis, and dried herbs dance with savory spices and blue fruits. The wine unfolds in layers, showcasing a finesse that belies its power. Medium-bodied with bright acidity that perfectly complements the fine grain tannins. Long, complex, and extremely pleasurable, this wine is a crowd pleaser now, yet will continue to evolve and improve over the next 10 years.
Blend: 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdor, 2% Malbec

Wine Enthusiast
Deep, dark fruit flavors, milk chocolate and mint join in to give this rich and full-bodied wine a mouthfilling presence. Velvety tannins coat the palate and support the delicious, almost-sweet fruit and spice flavors. It contains 17% Cabernet Franc and small amounts of Petit Verdot and Malbec. Best from 2026-2032.

Wine Spectator
This is textbook Napa Cabernet -- ripe, forthright and well-defined, with cassis, bitter plum and blackberry fruit driving through over a racy graphite hint and lively savory notes. Reveals an alder toast accent on the finish. Rock-solid. Drink now through 2034. 3,516 cases made.

Blackberry, walnut and bark on the nose with dried flowers and sandalwood. It’s full-bodied with lots of chewy tannins and flavorful fruit. Juicy, savory finish. Needs two or three years to come together. Better after 2023
