"Deep red. Complex, slightly reduced aromas of currant, cherry, chocolate, smoke and earth. Musky and a bit low-toned but with good texture and fat. Dark fruit, chocolate and menthol flavors linger nicely on the finish, which features broad, fine tannins. This is the last merlot from Alder Springs Vineyard, Behrens reports; following this vintage, the Alder Springs merlot will be combined into another cuvee."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
