Kenefick Ranch Merlot 2019 Review
For thirty years the Kenefick family and the Garcia family have worked in unison at the Kenefick Ranch in Napa Valley. Sipping the balance in this Merlot, you can’t help but admire this relationship between families and land. It has a nice deep, savory fruit nose with pops of blueberries. It's well balanced on the palate with a bold structure and a medium depth of fruit. It's also aging quite well.
