Swanson Napa Valley Merlot

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

Immediately inviting, the nose opens like a summer’s day, ripe fruit, red currant, strawberries and rose petals. On the palate the wine delivers crisp raspberry acidity alongside a succulent and dense mouth feel. Precise tannins give a refreshing lift to this well-structured Merlot. Built to be immediately enjoyable as well as rewarding if cellared 5-7 years, this good-natured wine will pair well with a wide variety of foods.
