Grgich Hills Merlot Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard sweet baking spices2021 JS 93 Robust aromatics of boysenberry, blackberry, cranberry, and black cherry are the centerpiece of this wine, harmonizing with the underlying aromas of violets, sandalwood, and forest floor. The first sip opens on the palate with a rush of softness and density, and lush, savory tannins. Red berries, blackberry, and cassis envelop the tongue on the mid palate, gently punctuated with subtle acidity followed by a long, flavorful finish. About
