Bravante 2016 Merlot 750 ML
93 Points, James Suckling. Our 2016 Merlot has our trademark plum aromas mingled with dark black cherry and raspberry, spice box and hints of sweet crushed herbs. Full-bodied and lush, the palate shows the plum again, layered with mocha and a whiff of vanilla. Big mountain structure and firm tannins elevate the mouth feel of this boldly-styled Merlot.
