Taub 2014 Merlot   

2014 Taub Family Merlot Napa Valley
NVWE Notes: This is a finely balanced Merlot that demonstrates its approaching maturity with an elegant bouquet. The aromas are a slightly Bordeaux-esque medley of plum pie, baked dark cherry, root beer bark, mulling-spice, cedar and hazelnut toffee scents. It is medium-bodied, quietly zesty and sleek on the palate, where the aromatic notes are mirrored but just a bit brighter. The flavors linger with lovely food-balance, and the wine is ready to enjoy.
