My opinion only:
Napa is not for Merlot. Merlot does very well in WA. and are often bigger and more complex than cabs. Grown in the wrong place or made without care any varietal can seem unworthy.
The best bottle of wine I've opened in the last 8 years was a 1999 Northstar CV Merlot. 100 % Merlot but it sure didn't seem like it. I didn't want that bottle to end.
Just my opinion.
