Delicious 2019 vintage — 20 days ago
It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blueberries, currants, plums, tobacco leaf, cedar, licorice, light vanilla and black pepper.
Medium plus in body and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, blueberries, plums, cooked cherries, spices, light cedar, licorice, chocolates, dark coffee, herbs and black peppers.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Merlot blend from Saint Estephe. Rich, smooth and elegant.
This second wine from the Third Growth Chateau is showing nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.
This 10 year old is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
A great sipping wine. Plush and fruit forward.
A blend of 57% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 17 months in (50% new) French Oak barrels.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

Proof that Cru Beauj can age. This bottle was better than the last one. Brighter ruby color, fresher red berry fruit, light tannins and good acidity . Best wine of the night in a killer lineup. — 4 days ago
Lively red apple, ripe pear, grapefruit and citrus zest, and subtle red berry notes, with a hint of toasted brioche. The fine mousses are quite vigorous in the bottle, leading to a refreshing, clean finish. Easy to enjoy. — 3 days ago
It’s been 16 months since last bottle of this Gargiulo G Major 7. One of my early Napa favorites. Fruit is ripe and bountiful, dark red and black. Very nicely balanced, acidity is very much holding its own, tannins are soft yet still structured. Gravely, vanilla, licorice, pencil shavings. Nice finish. Opens up nicely in the glass. — 15 days ago

lovely intense Riesling fruit. A hint of oxidation. Slate, apple, sweet floral notes. Rounded with good weight in the mid palate. Defined and precise. Excellent. — 22 days ago
