#MerlotThursday
Deep ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Strong nose of blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, vanilla, peppercorn, spices, dark coffee, espresso, tobacco, light alcohol and cinnamon.
Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cherries, oak, vanilla, light vegetables, licorice, peppercorn, light earth, coffee, dark chocolates, coke, tobacco and spices.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This young Napa red blend is already drinking very nicely. Tasty with lots of coffee notes. Smells like walking into a coffee shop. Loved that.
Needs time to open up properly, I gave it 90 minutes, but longer would be suggested.
Nicely balanced, although a little rigid right now. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Loved smelling on it for a long time.
A good wine to pair with a big piece of steak, but good all by itself as well.
Still young with potential to be even better in the next 5 to 10 years. I had the 2013 recently, and it showed so well, so be patient with this 2 year old.
Spicy, tasty, delicious and interesting.
A blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 7% Syrah and 2% Petit verdot.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

Deep purple in color with a short purple rim.
Fruity nose with black currants, blackberries, cherries, vanilla, earth, wood, peppercorn, tobacco, graphite, dark coffee, cloves, spice box and chocolates,
Full bodied and bold with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and extremely fruity on the palate with blackberries, plums, cooked cherries, spices, vanilla, cedar, licorice, cloves, cola, tobacco, peppercorn and espresso.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This Napa Syrah is delicious. Big and bold with lots of fruits.
This Single Vineyard is rich and extracted, and would age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Needs a couple of hours to open up and show the tannins, although, very drinkable right out on the bottle too.
