| Review: |
"Colète is a Napa Valley merlot designed by Rajat Parr and Marie Vayron Ponsonnet. They find their inspiration in Pomerol, merlot’s defining place and where Marie happened to grow up! The best Pomerol merlots unite disparate characteristics—they are soft, round, and fleshy, yet also textured, structured, and sharp, with deep earthy flavors of plum, dark berries, and mineral. This vintage is sourced from a unique parcel located in Coombsville where the vines benefit from a cool marine air and well drained volcanic soils. In touch with the beauty of this vineyard, Colète 2019 shows balance between power and brightness, with a vivid and suave black fruit." |
