1998 BLACKSTONE Merlot,
Napa Valley
 
Modest,
but lovely, intriguing nose of smoky oak and ripe dark red fruit, with
an herbal edge. On the palate, the tannins are soft and grace a medium
body, which serves up ripe cherry fruit and oaky vanilla flavors, with
the fruit echoing nicely on the finish. Around $17.
