Merlot 2017 N° 4 Rarified • Elemental • Dignified
JCB N° 4 is sourced from vineyards located in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley where morning fog allows the Merlot grapes to fully ripen without extreme heat.
Experience N° 4 with Jean-Charles Boisset
Tasting Notes
A climate similar to Burgundys. Bottled unfiltered, the wine opens with captivating dark fruit aromas of raspberry and plum, cloves, and a touch of currant. On the palate, these intricate flavors are all further accented by underlying flavors of baking spices and rich earthiness. This is a structured wine with soft tannins and a balanced and lingering finish.
N° 4
The Story
No 4 is said to be the perfect number creating harmony within nature - the earth's four elements, the four phases of the moon, and the four seasons. This dignified Merlot is a perfect blend of the earth's elements and represents both humankind and nature yielding the most honorable grapes.
