2009 Truchard Merlot Napa Valley

WSI 93 Floral aromas of wild blueberry, black cherry, and plum; with hints of cedar, spice, and subtle mint. The mouthfeel is smooth with flavors of blackberry, plum jam, red currants and sweet vanilla. Mouth-filling tannins focus the palate and provide an elegant finish of dried red fruits. 76% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc. Drinking well now, but will age for another 10-15 years.
