Canyon Oaks Merlot '22 Red Wine & USA & Merlot

This Napa Merlot displays deep ruby hues and aromas of black plum, violet, and dark chocolate. Aged 18 months in French oak (30% new) for polished tannins - flavors of black cherry, espresso, and dried sage earned 91 points for velvety texture. The finish lingers with vanilla and tobacco, naturally pairing with herb-crusted lamb or mushroom risotto.
