Taste: Dark, almost blackened crimson color. Aromas of cherry, spice, and chocolate spring from the glass, underpinned by bright fruit notes of strawberries and plums. A supple, rich mouthfeel—coupled with well-integrated oak—presents a complex-yet-smooth Merlot, perfect for that wintertime cocktail party.
Cameron Confidential: Lot 112 Napa County Merlot represents exceptional value. Sourced from the un-appellated Coombsville and Jamieson Canyon regions (which is why it has the Napa County designation), this wine has the beautiful, supple structure and classic fruit profile of great Napa Merlot (which requires a few minutes of swirling in the glass to get going). Sourced from one of the most respected wineries in the Napa Valley (where it is sold for $24 per bottle), this wine is sure to please those of you who crave Merlot or are looking for a supple wine with harmonious mouthfeel and great character.

This silky merlot begs for some grilled lamb chops! It reminds me of Lot 94.
