2011 Meadowcroft Reserve Merlot, Napa Valley 750ml 3-Pack
More of a French Bordeaux style of Merlot, the wine also contains just a hint of Cabernet Franc (5%). Notes of dark fruit and richness in the body carry this wine's aromatic bouquet. The firm, yet integrated tannins combine with the dark flavors to provide a long finish with jus a touch of chocolate.
The fruit for the Meadowcroft Napa Merlot is grown in the Carneros section in the lower part of Napa County. The cool Carneros mornings and windy afternoons allow the grapes to ripen slowly, retaining their acidity. The wine was aged in 15% new oak for 14 to 16 months.
Pairing Note: Enjoy with braised pork, Cassoulet, or sautéed beef tri tips.
