The 1996 Merlot Bancroft Ranch was showing much better when I
tasted it this year than it did eleven months earlier. The wine
boasts a saturated purple color, as well as an exquisite nose of
brandy-infused black cherries intermixed with melted chocolate.
Dense and full-bodied, with striking sweetness and purity, this fullbodied, multi-layered Merlot has developed beautifully. Although it
will benefit from another 4-5 years of bottle age, it can be drunk
now, or cellared. It will keep for 15 years. Beringer does a superb
job with its production from the Bancroft Ranch on Howell
Mountain. About 8,000 cases of their single vineyard Merlot are
produced. The wine spends 20 months in French oak coopered by
the well-known house of Seguin-Moreau. Tel. (707) 963-7115; Fax
(707) 963-1735
Producer: Beringer
From: USA, California, North
Coast, Napa Valley,
Color: Red
Type: Table
Sweetness: Dry
Variety: Merlo
Wine Spectator
Supple and well proportioned, with earthy currant, cedar, spice, coffee and anise flavors, turning elegant and polished on the finish.
