Item Description

You are bidding on a 750 ml bottle of 2004 Robert Sinskey Vineyard Merlot Los Carneros Napa Valley.

About the wine:

Raise a toast to Rudolph Steiner with this Demeter-certified biodynamic organic Merlot from Robert Sinskey Vineyards. This wine, which spent 18 months in one-third new French oak barrels before bottling in the spring of 2006, features 10% Cabernet Sauvignon for support.

Tasting notes: A dark, yet brilliant, ruby color augurs pleasure for the other senses. Halfway to the glass, the olfactory sense meets fennel-laced plums and vanilla cassis; while aromas of violets and bay leaves vie for attention. A tipping of the glass reinforces these flavors on the palate and wraps them in the plush texture that makes Merlot so appealing. A refreshing snap and ripe polished tannins work together to provide structure and balance following through to a never-ending finish.
