Pellet Estate
Pellet Vineyard Merlot
Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.
Reddish in color with medium plus intensity and a wide reddish rim.
Strong nose of red fruits with light cedar, earth, tobacco leaf, black pepper, herbs and black tea.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, plums, light oak, spices, chocolates, licorice, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Merlot from Napa Valley. Fruity and rich. Complex and entertaining.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes of airtime.
This Single Vineyard Merlot is elegant and nicely balanced. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
I had different vintages of this wine and it is very consistent.
Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.
100% Merlot grapes were aged in French oak barrels. A tiny production of only 300 bottles.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$100.

Dark purple in color with a purplish rim.
Nose of red and black fruits, light cedar, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, light earth, Indian spices, light peppercorn and vegetables.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with sweet cherries, plums, blueberries, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco, herbs, spices and peppercorn.
Long tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Merlot from Napa valley. Nicely balanced and complex. A great example of Napa Merlot with a Right Bank Bordeaux feel.
Needs 3 hours to open up properly, so be patient. Really enjoyed the nose once it opened up.
This single Vineyard is tasty and interesting. Still young and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
I've had a few vintages of this wine, and I really like this vintage. Very approachable young.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with hard cheeses and crackers.
