Keenan 2019 Napa Valley Merlot

The 2019 iteration comes from mostly the Spring Mountain estate with some fruit from Carneros. The nose shows soft cherry and plum aromas with light cigar box and a just there oak spice. The palate is moderate in weight with soft sweet oak, plum and cigar box notes. D&M Tasting Notes

“Mostly from the estate's Spring Mountain property, with a bit of Carneros fruit as well, Keenan's 2019 Merlot features attractive scents of black cherries, mocha and toasted oak. This 100% Merlot is medium to full-bodied, smooth, silky, nicely rounded and ripe, with decent length. It's a solid all-around effort that sells for a reasonable price.” 91 Points- Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, September 2022
