Rich, elegant, juicy fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, raspberries, hues of purple & blue fruits, strawberries. Used leather, fresh tobacco, finely, crushed rocks, palate gripping volcanic minerals, some dry herbs, moist clay, soft, understated baking spices, amazing, perfect florals that are a mix of; dark, red, blue, violets & lavender. Perfect acidity, it is well knitted/balanced with excellent length and a beautiful, elegant finish that lasts 90-120 seconds.

Long Shadows Vintners
Nine Hats Columbia Valley Merlot 2016
Color of different shades of purple. Nose of nice spice, oak, vanilla, black cherry, and more oaky note. Nose is pretty good. Taste follows the nose, almost no tannins, smooth, a lot of cedar and oak note, sweet dark fruits, mellow and easy to drink. Aftertaste shows some zest, ripe grapes, and even more oak note. Flavors are ample. Pretty good. — 3 years ago

Fun wine, extended skin contact - looks like a Rose and tasted like one too: mix between tart red fruit & savory notes, some potpourri, fairly exotic. Palate was bit more austere, open canvas for variety of light fare. We had huge salad w/smoked salmon and it was fantastic. Balanced and dry finish, go find some Georgian wine! — a month ago
