The 2015 La Jota Vineyard Merlot is a testament to the harmony of power and elegance. This Howell Mountain gem, with a touch of Petit Verdot, offers a palate of cinnamon, baked plum, and dark cherry, complemented by an espresso bean nuance and a distinctive dusty rock minerality. With a soft yet structured profile, this wine is poised for graceful aging. Decant for an hour to unveil its full spectrum of aromas and flavors, and pair it with robust dishes like grilled lamb chops or a hearty beef bourguignon.
