2001 Beringer Napa Merlot

[Drew]

Took this to a friend's house the other night. Beautiful merlot showing dark cherry with hints of chocolate and herb. Elegant and well balanced, it's a nice merlot for $16.

FWIW here's what RP said and I agree.
"Rated 87 “The chocolately, mocha-infused 2001 Merlot exhibits berry fruit and a touch of herbs along with an admirable texture and a silky finish.” Robert M. Parker, Jr. The Wine Advocate February 28, 2005

And nothing about plums or oak!
