Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2017

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Very fresh nose of cherries, plums, light oak, licorice, spices, herbs, chocolates, tobacco, earth and minerals.

Full-bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blueberries, black plums, fresh cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates, black tea, dark coffee, herbs and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This is a delicious Merlot from Saint Emilion. Rich and engaging. Elegant and fruit forward with a silky soft mouthfeel.

This 8 year old Merlot is still young, but already drinking beautifully.,and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Complex and interesting. Nicely balanced and spicy. Loved smelling on it for a while.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.

A blend of 77% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (56% new) French Oak barrels for 18 months.

14% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

$125.

I have one of these in the cellar! Going to try to refrain from popping it until it’s at least 10 years old, even though it sounds yummy right now.

Fronsac Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

Pop and pour (practically) — can’t be helped.

NOSE: something savory, blackberry, and a little violet. Mild clove. A little clay. Something…Mexican?

TASTE: juicy, purple cassis and clay. Fresh and tasty. The kind of wine I like, basically. Blueberry pie after air. 93.
