Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Inky in color with a very short reddish rim.
Fruity nose and medium in body with medium acidity.
Dry and fruit forward on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, vanilla, cedar, licorice, cola, chocolates, herbs, earth, light tobacco leaf and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Merlot based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Rich and fruit forward. Soft and smooth.
Still very young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, although very approachable right now.
A delicious wine that will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Needs 3 hours in the decanter to open up properly, which I didn't have, as it was finished too quickly.
Very elegant, and very enjoyable by itself as a sipping wine. Will also pair very nicely with a big piece of steak or Barbecue meats.
A blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. A small production of only 8 barrels.
14.9% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$170.

Deep purple in color with a reddish rim.
Beautiful nose with wildflowers, plums, sweet cherries, chocolates, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, herbs, Indian spices, tobacco leaf and peppercorn.
Full bodied, soft and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, herbs, figs, spices, tobacco, chocolates, peppercorn and coffee.
Long tangy finish with fine grained tannins and raspberries.
This is a gorgeous Merlot based Bordeaux blend from Napa valley. Still very young, but already showing complexity and elegance.
Good right out of the bottle, and so much better with airtime. I gave it 3 hours in the decanter to open up properly. The gorgeous nose shows up after 2 hours in the decanter.
Well balanced and fruit forward. Complex and engaging. Rich and elegant.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years, and see how it evolves.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and would pair nicely with BBQ Meats.
