Michael Pozzan 2016 Napa Valley Merlot
The 2016 Michael Pozzan Merlot is a rich burgundy color in the glass. The nose is warm and expressive, with aromas of bright cherry, milk chocolate, and espresso, with a hint of black olive. In the mouth, the wine's deeply layered flavors of juicy red berries and black cherry mingle seamlessly with richly toasted oak. Creamy, mouth-filling tannins give way to a silky smooth finish perfumed with clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
