The Riley Red Blend

2019 Napa Valley

$70

Merlot focused, this red blend is savory, substantial, and fruit forward. Aromas of sage, ripe red berries, and vanilla invite you into the glass while flavors of red currant, plum, and dried herbs enhance the palate. The oak and smooth tannin are well integrated leading to a complex and luscious finish.

"Succulent and super-expressive right out of the gate, which makes it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Inky red cherry fruit, plum, mocha, spice, leather, cedar and tobacco all meld together in this luscious, inviting red."
