Notes on the Keenan Merlot Napa Valley 2005 Half-Bottles : 375ML Half Bottle
WINEMAKER NOTES: The 2005 Keenan Merlot is composed of sixty-five percent Keenan Estate Merlot. Thirty-two per- cent of the wine is Merlot fruit harvested from the Napa Carneros region. After hand harvesting, the grapes were de-stemmed, then inoculated with Montrachet yeast. Fermentation ranged from eight to twelve days before pressing. The ‘05 Merlot has been aged in thirty-three percent new French and American oak barrels for eighteen months. The resulting wine shows intense aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and cassis. Complex nuances of cocoa and coffee bean emerge as the wine opens up.This is a "big" Merlot that will age for many years to come.
