Artesa Merlot 2000

Napa Valley, California, United StatesSpicy, leather, coffee, black olive and smoky pepper nose with cherry jam aromas underneath. Rich round and smooth on entry with light, dry tannins and a touch of elevated acidity. Look for coffee, vanilla, spicy, smoky, black cherry jam flavours with some leathery, herbal notes and heat on the finish. Quite a smooth suave style. You can enjoy this now or over the next two years.Tasted: 31 December 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
