Rombauer 2022 Merlot, Carneros Dessert & Port 95 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous):New release of Rombauer Merlot! Enticing and lively red color; beautifully aromatic with black cherry and ripe plum. On the palate a purity of blackcurrant, cedar and mint flavors blend together seamlessly. Soft and supple, this wine has a medium bodied mouth feel with plush tannins that integrate with the generous finish. The Carneros region with its climate and clay soils allows us to produce a Merlot which is true to the varietals characteristics.
