Made by Verite’s brilliant Bordelais winemaker, Pierre Seillan, this 2001 Merlot Jackson Park Vineyard (100% Merlot) is a sexy, soft, fully mature wine offering up notes of roasted herbs, coffee beans, sweet mocha and black cherries. This sexy, dark plum/purple-colored effort also reveals hints of chocolate and espresso in its round personality. Enjoy it over the next 4-5 years. Tel. (707) 528-6464; Fax (707) 571-0156
