Matt Iaconis Napa Valley Merlot 2017
About the wine
Rich, sturdy, fruit-filled Merlot - this red's a class act
- Single-vineyard, velvety Napa Merlot – popping with lively berries and spice and smooth richness, thanks to some snazzy French oak aging. If that's not a classy red wine, what is?!
- With your support, Matt accessed a special estate property along Atlas Peak – a famous Napa sub-appellation with high elevation and hard granite soil. That makes the vines grow sturdy, tiny grapes that produce super concentrated flavors and give your wine great depth!
- Napa Valley Merlot from this vineyard is usually $50-70+ per bottle - but you've got the inside track. Make this red a special gift to yourself. You've earned it!
Best before
Shows beautifully early on but will improve over the next 5+ years.
Serving advice
In the early years, a decant will help open the wine. Open and let it breathe, 30 to an hour should do, then enjoy!
