It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Pretty nose of black fruits with light wood, flowers and chocolate notes.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, chocolates, herbs, coffee, light earth, light vegetables, spices and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Merlot from Spring Mountain District. Elegant and nicely balanced. Fruit forward and complex. Spicy and soft, tangy and interesting.
Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already drinking beautifully. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
I've had a few older vintages of this Merlot and it is very consistent.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.
A blend of 67% Merlot and 33% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in (50% new) French Oak barrels for 24 months. A small production of less than 9,000 bottles.
14.6% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$175.
