The 2003 St. Supéry Merlot from the Napa Valley, California, is a rich year for wines in this well known wine region. The 2003 winter was mild with a rainy spring followed by a hot summer. The end result is a very good grape where the flavors had the right amount of time to develope without sugar levels getting too high.
From the wine maker they say their 2003 Merlot is a rich and supple wine that is complex and elegant with a deep color. Wine advocates should be able to notice a hint of spice and a pepper essence that adds to the wine’s character.
