2000 David Arthur Meritaggio Napa

A blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot 10% Sangiovese in the blend, just over 800 cases produced. A big and fruit driven wine with dark cherry and cassis berry fruit, a nice freshness to this wine from the Sangiovese still has that typical Pirchard Hill minerality, mountain fruit intensity, toasty oak spice on the nose, milk chocolate, nice complexity coming out on the second day. A light and refreshing red for a Napa Valley with red cherry fruit, a nice zesty spice to the finish with some tannins on the finsih but fairly ripe and round. Finish 40+ Excellent +
