I say Cafaro, you say Cafarro…

Cafaro 2002 Merlot
$34.95
Shane’s Notes

I told Jen that I really wanted to try a wine from Caffaro. Jen brought home this Merlot without realizing that there are two Cafaro wineries that are only separated by an “f” - Cafaro in Napa and Caffaro in Sonoma. It’s almost as confusing as the two Stag’s Leap wineries that are only separated by the placement of an apostrophe. Oh well, it was a tasty mistake. The initial palate entry shows sweet fruit, much sweeter than you would expect to find in a Merlot. The sweet fruit is followed by notes of tobacco and cedar. It was very easy drinking, and even our dog enjoyed it as she licked the wine dribbling down the outside of the bottle. However, $35 is a bit pricey for this one.
