A single-vineyard, 100% Merlot from Oakville in Napa Valley, produced by Nickel & Nickel. It comes from the Shifflett family vineyard and is named after the historic Bear Flat Merlot clone planted there. The winery focuses on single-vineyard, single-varietal wines, and this vintage underwent no blending with other varietals.
The nose opens with black cherry, ripe plum, pipe tobacco and milk chocolate, with mint, sweet baking spices and forest-floor earthiness. The palate is rich and opulent with dark plum and red currant, then sweet herb, cedar and black olive, supported by supple, polished tannins. The finish is long and persistent, carrying cedar and sweet herb, with resolved, silky tannins.
