Paloma 2006 Merlot, Napa Valley

Extremely limited opportuniy to try the new Paloma release.

93 Points Wine Spectator: "Plush, ripe and elegant, with fragrant currant, caramel and olive aromas and supple, beautifully layered plum, cedar and loamy, toasty oak flavors that are wrapped around a dense, complex core.  Drink now through 2015.  2,776 cases made."

93 Points Robert Parker: "An excellent Merlot from proprietor Jim Richards, this 2006 reveals flamboyant, sexy, chocolaty, mocha, and coffee notes intermixed with oodles of black cherry and berry fruit. Full-bodied, silky textured, and mouthfilling, this hedonistic effort will provide enormous pleasure over the next 5-8 years."
