Note di degustazione
The 2014 Merlot, which is 100% Merlot, is actually one of the few truly great Merlots made in Napa Valley. (Pahlmeyer nails it with another one, but there are a few others.) This wine has terrific fruit intensity, big, deep, chocolate/mocha, black cherry and currant notes, and a large frame filled with extract, glycerin and juicy, chewy fruit. It is a sumptuous Merlot fruit bomb to drink over the next 10-15 years.

The 2014 Merlot brings together the natural juiciness of the grape with the aromatics and structure that are typical of Howell Mountain. Inky blue/purplish fruit, spice, leather, tobacco and lavender are nicely delineated in a mid-weight, refreshing yet deep Merlot that will drink well with minimal cellaring. The Merlot is not especially complex, but it is absolutely delicious.
