The Rocca 2012 Grigsby Vineyard Merlot is all about elegance, grace, and balance, beautifully reflecting the organically farmed Napa Valley estate vineyard from which it was produced.
Rich and pure aromas of ripe red cherries, gravel, and spicy oak create a sophisticated bouquet to complement the lush and sumptuous palate. Full-bodied with ample but nicely polished tannins, this Merlot conveys a distinct sense of finesse and refinement with flavors of deliciously sweet black cherries and stony minerality rounding out the palate. As Mary Rocca accurately describes it, this wine is truly a “Cab lover’s Merlot.”
