2020 Grgich Hills Merlot, Napa ValleyMedium to deep garnet purple colored, the 2018 Merlot hits the ground running with open knit scents of baked black cherries, stewed plums and boysenberries plus an undercurrent of wild sage, cloves and tar. Medium bodied, the palate offers a good amount of black fruit with loads of herbal accents and a chewy texture, finishing with a lively lift.
