The La Jota Vineyard Merlot 2013 is a sumptuous red wine that’s perfectly balanced and a joy to taste. The nose and mouth show inviting notes of mocha, plum, and blackberry, with an accent of charcoal. The palate is lush and velvety, with a cool vein of minerality and a long finish. This red wine is a delight, and it resulted from an idyllic year on the La Jota Vineyard and the W.S. Keyes Vineyard in Napa Valley. Careful craftsmanship transformed an excellent harvest into this year’s memorable vintage.
