Boyanci Napa Valley Red Blend 2010 (75cl, 14.5%)

Boyanci Napa Valley Red Blend 2010 is a 750ml Bordeaux-style red wine from Napa Valley, California, blending Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot at about 14.5% ABV. Boyanci has since closed, and the wine was made with Mia Klein and Helen Keplinger. The aroma suggests dark plum and blackberry, dried herbs, subtle oak spice and tobacco, with bottle age moving fruit toward dried and secondary complexity. The palate opens with dark concentrated berry fruit and firm tannins, with Merlot adding rounder mid-palate generosity and integrated oak. The finish is medium to long, with dark fruit, cedar and soft tannin. Serve at 60-65°F and decant for 30-45 minutes.
