Wine Review: This opaque and dark ruby colored Merlot from Napa opens with a black cherry bouquet with a hint of dark chocolate and oak. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and smooth. The flavor profile is a black currant and plum blend with hints of milk chocolate, black cherry, and mild oak. The finish is dry and its moderate tannins are quite sticky for a Merlot. This wine would benefit from some decanting and would pair well with braised pork belly. Enjoy - Ken
