2012 HALL Napa Valley Merlot 3L
$150.00
Merlot tends to ripen early, so we selected fruit from cooler vineyard sites for a result that is vibrant and expressive. The Merlot farmed at Hardester Ranch, with its gravelly hillside topography, offers weight, concentration and a rich chocolate character.

The wine is deep garnet in color inviting notes of wet stone, sun-warmed raspberries, and a slight cooling note of fresh fennel. Its medium body delivers soft, supple tannins that are a distinctive and prized feature of our Merlot. The wine finish offers notes of baking spices. Drink now and over the next five years.
