Score 91/100 · Drink 2012-2020, Robert Parker, Jun 2012

While I tend to be critical of Napa Valley Merlot, there are some noteworthy exceptions, one of which is Keenan’s Merlot. The 2002 Merlot Napa (97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc) came in at a modest 14.3% alcohol. Fully mature, it offers sweet, juicy cranberry, cherry and black currant fruit, medium body and 5-8 years of life remaining. Keenan does not make a lot of Cabernet Franc from the Spring Mountain appellation, but what has been produced has been a consistent winner. Tel. (707) 963-9177; Fax (707) 963-8209
