Dancing Hares Vineyard
Proprietary Napa Valley Red Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
It's time for some #MerlotThursday.
Here is a delicious Merlot - Cabernet blend from Napa Valley.
Dark ruby in color with a nice reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, blueberries, figs, raisins, vanilla, sweet oak, spices, chocolates, peppercorn, dark coffee, light earth, tobacco, pencil lead and leather.
Full bodied, bold and smooth, with medium minus acidity and long legs.
Dry and extremely fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, sweet cherries, figs, raisins, vanilla, light cedar, leather, spices, chocolates, tobacco, mocha, coke, earth and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins, tangy raspberries and spices.
This is a gorgeous Napa Valley red blend from a great vintage. Showing great complexity and mouthfeel. Rich, extracted, bold and beautiful. Big mouthfeel with a spicy finish.
Although very tasty now, this 7 year old still has a long long time in it. Very powerful.
A great wine to have all by itself. I loved smelling on it for a long while.
Robert Parker 93 points.
Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up (90 minutes). I love these Napa Bordeaux blends.
Thank you Barry for sharing.
A blend of 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot. Aged in French oak barrels for 2 years.
14.8% alcohol by volume.
96 points.
$150.
