TWO MERLOTS
1 – 750 ml bottle each – 2 bottles total
Leonetti Merlot 2007
The purple-colored 2007 Merlot contains 7% Petit Verdot. The nose offers up a whiff of new oak along with mocha, black currant, blackberry, and a hint of chocolate. This leads to a medium to full-bodied, opulent wine with layered, savory fruit, succulent flavors, plenty of fine-grained tannin, and a lengthy, pure finish. RP 93
Shafer Merlot 2007
Still turning out one of California’s top Merlots, the 2007 Merlot combines the elegance and classicism of the Stags Leap viticultural region with the rich berry and chocolaty fruit of Napa Valley. This sexy, lush, medium-bodied, pure Merlot. RP 90
