MERLOT 2015 Napa Valley |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CA' MOMI |
Extremely deep intense purple colour. Very spicy, cedary, baked cherry-plum nose with lots of clove notes. Dry, medium, quite well structured, harmonious, very spicy, solid, intense, cherry-plum flavours with a lingering, sandalwood, clove-driven finish. Where did all the clove notes come from? Does not seem to reflect the Napa Merlot typicity that I am familiar with. Has 13.5% alcohol and 7 g/L residual sugar. Not at all up to the recommended 2014 (**/**+) released on October 29, 2016 at $23.95. |

TASTING NOTE: Founded in 2006 by three Italian immigrants - Valentina Guolo-Migotto, Dario De Conti and Stefano Migotto - Ca' Momi has gained a fine reputation for crafting Napa wines that deliver quality and value. This 2015 Merlot is loaded with rich, smoky black fruit, plum, cocoa and charred wood aromas and flavours. This has excellent structure, sweet tannins and a lingering smoky note on the finish. Perfect for lamb stew. (Vintages panel, May 2017) |
