2004 Capolan Merlot Sonoma - The distinctive label is actually a reproduction of a Nick Bantock collage. Capolan is the name of a fictional tribe (council) of "good natured vagabonds", and apparently they represent Benham's search for the "sumptuous mysteries of Merlot". This is definitely a good-natured Merlot, and yet another piece of evidence that Merlot is still alive and kicking.
This is a California Wine.
