Official Comment:
Partial whole berry fermentation softens tannins, allowing the fruit flavors and succulent texture to shine on the palate. The 2001 Napa Valley Merlot shows forward flavors of boysenberry and blueberry that are complemented by spice, toasty oak and soft vanilla nuances. This is a full-bodied Merlot with a silky mouthfeel and rich lush texture.

"Wow, this is a good wine. It's filled with succulent blackberry and cherry flavors, and the oak is just right. It's dry, balanced and harmonious, with equisitely soft, sweet tannins..." - Wine Enthusiast

Christian Moueix Merlot is the personal cuvÉe of the dynamic, charismatic figure whose name it bears.
