Wine of the Week

2009 Avalon Napa Valley Merlot

86 Points

An outstanding value Napa Valley Merlot from Avalon!  Known for their California and Napa Cabernets, this is their first vintage of Merlot using fruit sourced from the famed Atlas Peak Appellation.  This fruit forward wine displays bright fruit on the nose and leads to dark cherry and plum on the palate.  Medium bodied with great balance and soft tannin structure.  Perfect fit for pot roast and root vegetables, meaty red pasta sauces and wild game.
