2013 Kalaris Merlot Napa

Sommelier Challenge International Wine Competition


WINE OF THE YEAR – Best of Show


97 points - Platinum

“A panel of advanced and master sommeliers at the 7th annual Sommelier Challenge International Wine Competition loved this


Napa Valley Merlot, and it's easy to see why. With firm structure and richly layers red and black fruits, it could easily pass for a Right


Bank Bordeaux. Aromas of plum, blueberry and blackberry dominate this wine that exhibits impressive dimension and weight.


The wood note hangs judiciously in the background, lending hints of vanilla and spice." - Robert Whitley
