Acre 2018 Merlot
2018 Acre Merlot Napa Valley
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 92+ Points
By any standard this is an impressive Merlot. The nose offers a spicy mix of blackberry, mulberry, dark cherry, dark toffee, black peppercorn, black tea and dark earthy scents. There is both richness and some firming tannic grip on the mid-palate where zesty black fruits dominate. The finish is lingering and food worthy and delivers a fine reprise of the fruit and savory spice promised by the aromas. Delicious now, it will grow in elegance for eighteen to thirty months. 510 cases produced.
