It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Pretty color of ruby with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose with red and black fruits, light wood, tobacco and chocolate notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with blueberries, black plums, currants, light wood, spices, coffee and peppercorn.

Medium plus in length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very tasty second wine from this Grand Cru Estate in Saint Emilion. Soft and elegant.

Balanced and fruit forward with nice complexity.

Drinking at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food. A nice sipping wine.

A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 15 months in used French oak barrels.

13% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

This is an excellent bottle of wine to drink after your husband crashes your brand new car into the side of our garage door. No he was not drinking prior to said accident — 9 years ago
