Note di degustazione
An absolutely spectacular Merlot is the 2013 Merlot W.S. Keyes, a blend of 76% Merlot and 24% Cabernet Sauvignon. There are only 305 cases, but it is certainly one of the great Merlots of Napa Valley. Blackberry fruit interwoven with a hint of black cherry jam, licorice, camphor and charcoal are all present in this full-bodied, chocolaty, dense, super-sexy wine to drink over the next 10-15+ years.

A rich, explosive wine, the 2013 Merlot W.S. Keyes hits the palate with serious depth and richness. Mocha, dark chocolate, plums, cloves and new leather are some of the signatures. The 2013 presents an intriguing combination of opulent fruit and firm structure. Winemaker Chris Carpenter has done a fabulous job taming the mountain tannins, but the intensity of the vintage comes through just the same.
