Trefethen, The Cowgirl and The Pilot, Merlot 2018 (Napa Valley, CA)

Producer Notes: Aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, and cocoa are followed by hints of olive, leather, and black pepper. On the palate, the mouthwatering flavors are complex, with smooth tannins and generous fruit balanced by earthy undertones, all of which follow through to a plush and remarkably long finish.
