6	Amuse Bouche (Napa, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines) 2007 Merlot View Label Appellation: Napa Valley Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Winemaker: Heidi Peterson Barrett The 2007 harvest was characterized by its split personality.

The later harvest allowed an optimal ripening period for our Merlot and Cabernet Franc blocks, which we picked just before heavy rainfall str... ...read more Question?
