It's time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
On the nose red cherries, plums, light oak, spices, dark coffee and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, spices, light oak, black tea, licorice, earth, light vegetables and peppercorn.
Short finish with grippy tannins and tangy cranberries.
This is a nice everyday wine from Bordeaux. Showing mostly red fruits with earth notes.
Still very young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.
Good by itself and better with food.
Needs a few hours to open up properly, and will be better in 3 to 5 years.
A blend of 68% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. Aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
88 points.
$18.

A nice wonderful French red blend: a good balance with those typical French terroir notes on the backend with some ripe young red fruit forward notes to start. Pair with a nice meal or cheese!
