Robert Mondavi Napa Valley 2018 Merlot, $23.99-$27.99, 88 points, poured core black grading to a deep purple/red with viscous fat-stained legs and a broad clear meniscus.
Aromas were overwhelmingly herbal with hints of tobacco and cocoa.
A full-bodied bone-dry red wine with good acidity, firm grainy tannins, Damson plum, red raspberry, Teaberry gum, and cayenne pepper flavors.
Finished long on the high 15% alcohol-infused spiciness, iron, and slightly astringent tannins.
Paired okay with my beef lasagna.
