Tasting notes
The 2014 Merlot Coup De Foudre Le Droitier is medium garnet-purple colored with a gorgeous open-knit and flamboyant nose of warm plums, baked cherries, mulberries and baking spices with touches of cardamom, smoked meats and roses. The palate is full-bodied, concentrated and vibrant with tons of juicy fruit and firm, grainy tannins, finishing long and perfumed.

The 2014 Droitiere is a Merlot-based barrel selection and essentially a counterpoint to the Gauchiste in the Coup de Foudre range. Black cherry, plum and mocha are front and center in this bold, racy wine. Even with all of its intensity, the Droitiere remains mid-weight and gracious, especially for a Calistoga wine. This is an especially sensual red from Coup de Foudre. The Droitiere is bottled only in magnum.
