Frog's Leap Rutherford-Napa Valley 2014 Merlot





Frog's Leap Rutherford-Napa Valley 2014 Merlot, $26.99-$39.99, 91 points, poured a dark sienna color with a clear wine ring and thick heavy legs.
Aromatic sweet cherry fruit, plum, blueberry, and cedar were outstanding.
Medium-bodied with good acidity and grainy firm tannins managed excellent flavors reflective of the aromas plus a touch of tobacco and white pepper which carried deep into the long finish.
The 13.4% alcohol was restrained, complementary, and attractive.
Paired perfectly with our pepperoni pizza.
Varietals are 94% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon.
I bought this at the Whole Foods of Bedford.
