Columbia Valley Merlot with medium tannin and high acidity, with notes of plum and tobacco, at Coastal Alchemist wine bar, Ogunquit, ME — a month ago
No problems noted despite the age. Very good, but not outstanding. The nose was great at about 30 minutes-1 hour in the glass. The nose seemed to fade over the evening, but still very nice. Acidity is notable. Earthy flavors, tobacco, dried fruit. Great experience trying a 41 year old vintage! — 2 months ago

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.

The 2022 Chardonnay wafts up with a lovely blend of ripe apple, mint and hints of vanilla bean. It offers a pretty inner sweetness that complements its ripe peach and citrus sorbet tones. This tapers off crisply refreshing and long, with a tactile mineral tinge. $23.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2024) — 5 months ago

At this price point I don’t think that Napa Cab can touch this quality and appeal. Gives what Cabernet drinkers want and saves you the extra $10-20 you may pay elsewhere — 8 days ago
