Black Clover

2007 Merlot Napa Valley

Irish lore tells of incredible luck being bestowed upon anyone fortunate enough to find a four-leaf clover. Ten thousand times more rare than the three-leafed norm, spotting one is an indication of both luck and a keen eye. It just so happens that these two attributes can bring great fortunes at the card table, turning a peasant (the class the suit originally symbolized) into royalty. Unfortunately for those already possessing great riches, the reverse is also true. So, caution, friend. We celebrate the ability of a man to improve his lot in life with our Black Clover Merlot.

The wine begins full and round with mouth-filling tannins. Powerful, yet balanced, this wine is full of elegance and finesse, which carries through into a long finish.

Cherry, cassis, olive, dark chocolate, raspberry, integrated oak.

All of the grapes for the 2007 Black Clover were grown in the southern third of the Napa Valley where the relatively cool temperatures allow for well-structured yet soft wines. The bright fruit character (red fruits), lower acidity and bigger tannins originate from the northern-most vineyards; and the dark fruits, higher acidity and softer tannins originate from the more southerly vineyards.
