While I’m reluctant to identify a $30 wine a "value" buy, given that this red blend is sourced from the Napa Valley and comes from the sensational 2013 vintage, it qualifies. Rich and luxurious, this predominantly Merlot blend exhibits ripe red-fruit flavors, nicely integrated tannins and a subtle note of graphite for additional complexity.
