Dark/mid berry cola, dark spices, dark chocolate, cinnamon stick, nutmeg, clove, vanilla, steeped tea, dark tarry notes, anise to black licorice, dry tobacco, alluvial volcanics, used leather, some grahite, dry river stone, dry, crushed, rocks, dark, rich, earth with dry leaves, dry herbs, dry to withering flowers that are dark, red with violets, rainfall acidity and a finish with nice evolution, well balanced & structured with still good presence and polish/elegance that lasts two-minutes.

Very recently purchased at Last Bottle for $69 that will last another 5-8 years.

Freemark Abbey

Stagecoach Vineyard Merlot 2014

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

This 10 year old Merlot is delicious.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Showing red and black fruits with cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, earth, dark coffee, chocolates, peppercorn, herbs and black tea.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This Single Vineyard Merlot is elegant and robust. Drinking very nicely now, and probably at its peak. Will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

Needs a few hours to open up properly, so be patient.

Tangy and engaging. Easy drinking and fruit forward.

Good by itself or with food. Will pair nicely with BBQ Meats.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$70.

Not as bold and full body as other Atlas Peak wines which is probably more in line with the Italian wine making influence. — 7 months ago
