    Flora Springs 1999 Windfall Vineyard Merlot (Napa Valley)

    This is a weighty wine of early drinkability and charm, with the mouthfeel of a good Cabernet, but with silkier, more accessible tannins. There's a rich, peppery earthiness to the sweet blackberry fruit. Not a blockbuster, it exhibits class, finesse and that elusive quality called style.
