Robert Keenan Winery 2021 'Keenan Mailbox Vineyard Reserve' Merlot, Spring Mountain District, California

Old-school Napa Valley classicism. There is nothing flashy or fancy here, just a savory, structured mountain Merlot with a ton of character. Dark fruit, herbs, pine, underbrush and graphite are some of the many nuances that open with a bit of coaxing.
