The 2015 Dauzac has a classy

spice and ripe but cool white peach

Shafer, Napa Merlot Size:12x750ml with very fine tannins and(15. 1% alcohol), Good dark red. Musky currant and milk chocolate aromas are complemented by smoky oak. Rich and truffley on the palate, with inviting sweetness to the flavors of cherry, licorice, coffee bean and fresh herbs. Doesn't have the depth of the best vintages here but this broad, chewy wine finishes with sweet tannins and very good persistence. Stephen Tanzer
