#MerlotThursday.

Dark inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Nice fruity nose of black cherries, blueberries, blackberries, vanilla, chocolates, coffee, light earth, tobacco, spices and peppercorn.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice legs.

Dry on the palate with black plums, black cherries, blueberries, oak, light vanilla, Indian spices, licorice, coffee, herbs, peppercorn, earth, graphite, dark coffee, dark chocolates, coke and tobacco.

Long tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.

This is a very nice Merlot from Napa Valley. Soft, smooth and tangy. Elegant with a nice mouthfeel. Well made with nice balance and complexity.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

This six-year-old from a good vintage in Napa would be better in the next 5 to 7 years.

This is not the big Napa red one might expect, but rather elegant, with a lighter mouthfeel.

Needs time to open up properly. I gave it 3 hours. After 4 hours of airtime it became very spicy. Interesting to see. I'd love to check it again in 3 years.

I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in 100% French oak barrels for 22 months. A small production of only 180 cases.

14.2% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

Pale lemon in color with a golden hue.

Pronounced nose of citrus, apples, spices, melons, grapefruits and white pepper.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with limes, grapefruits, citrus, green apples, guava, spices, light herbs and black pepper.

Nice finish with spices.

This is a very enjoyable Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley.

Fruit forward and tangy with nice balance. Bright and refreshing. A nice, good quality, new world Sauvignon Blanc.

A good food wine, and good by itself as a sipping wine by the porch or pool.
