2018 La Jota Merlot Howell Mountain Napa

A big bouquet of graphite, cedar and a corucopia of dark currant, plum and dark cherry fruit with dark spices, black licorice, dark earth and more, very complex bouquet.  A big and chewy Merllot on the tongue with some tannins on the finish, echoing the nuance from the nose through the finish.  Finish 45+  Most Excellent
