Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Deep purple in color with a wide reddish rim.
Strong nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, tobacco, cedar, chocolates, vanilla, licorice, light herbs and light alcohol.
Full bodied and soft, with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black plums, cooked cherries, currants, blueberries, light oak, licorice, vanilla, spices, espresso, light earth, herbs and peppercorn.
Nice length on the finish with round tannins and sweet spices.
This 5 year old red blend from Washington State is drinking at its peak right now.
Elegant and easy drinking right out of the bottle. Gets better after 30 minutes of airtime, when more complexity and tannins come in to play.
Rich and extracted. Fruit forward and spicy, with a really nice nose, once it opens up.
Wine Enthusiasts 91 points.
Showing nice complexity and good by itself or with food.
A blend of 45% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 10% Malbec, 17% Syrah and 4% Grenache. Aged for 9 months in neutral oak barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$20.
