Burgess Cellars
Triere Estate Vineyard Merlot
Napa Valley, California, USA
An outstanding Merlot. Blackberries, chocolate, dried cherries, and hints of tobacco. Great structure, drinking well now, and can easily go another five years.

Goes well with red meat. Not great to drink by itself.

Unexpectedly aromatic! This is the first time a merlot has reminded me of chocolate-covered cherries and juicy tree-ripened plums...this is expressive, and still balanced with some tannin and not-too-huge body.
