2008 Derenoncourt Merlot Stagecoach Vineyard Napa Valley California USA Wine Tasting Note

Perhaps not the most complex wine, but for pure pleasure, due to the opulent texture and layers of chocolate covered cherry and black plums, with a luscious blast of fruit in the finish, this is just great. 20 minutes in the decanter and it was ready to go.

Chocolate covered cherries, espresso and earthy scents open to a fat, lush, concentrated, open style of wine. This is already delicious! Aged in 50% new, French oak for 18 months, with a production of only 68 case, this 100% Merlot is going to be difficult to find.
