2019 Delectus Merlot Napa Valley CA

Tasting Notes: This rich and bold Merlot presents a complex nose with waves of dried sage, mushroom, and forest floor, evolving into rose and floral notes. The palate is lean with noticeable tannins up front, mellowing to reveal dusty cocoa, chocolate, and jammy fruit, finishing with hints of oak and cedar.
