2018 Michael Pozzan Merlot Napa Valley

 


Picked this gem up on a last visit to my friends wine store before she retired from the business. I'm a big fan of the Giapoza wines so this was a no brainer.

Definitely a family business with Michael, his wife Mary Ann, sons Dante and Matthew plus Matthews wife Kimberly. What I have found with the Pozzan Family wines, they are very versatile and pair with a variety of foods or they can be enjoyed on their own with family and friends over a conversation. 

The 2018 Merlot nose shows notes of fresh sliced plum, hints of redberries, a dusting of cocoa powder and wild violets. The mouth is soft yet extremely flavorful with juicy plum and a red raspberry/cherry combination with a splash of mocha and spice. Really nice Merlot and one you should keep on hand.

Cheers

Dan
