Fleury Howell Mountain Merlot 2006

Fleury Estate Winery, Howell Mountain, Napa Valley, Merlot 2006 This wine reminds us that Merlot need not be flacid. Acidity enhances the plumminess of Merlot and makes it all the more food-friendly. At the same time, the fruitiness and plush texture makes this wine accessible on its own. P&B in St. Helena 14.5% $100 at the winery Fleury Estate Winery
