Rive Droite Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

9.1

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

Inky in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of fresh cherries, plums, currants, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates and black pepper.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, spices, toast, licorice, chocolates, tobacco herbs, earth and light vinaigrette.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very tasty Merlot from Napa Valley. Rich and fruit forward. Elegant and very complex.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime.

This 12 year old Single Vineyard Merlot is nicely balanced and still drinking at its peak.

Good by itself or with food.

A blend of 92% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc.

14.6% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

Big ol’ Pinot… if by name only

Heavy body….. deep ruby color.
Musty, earthy nose
Powerful Friit - maybe black cherry
A touch earth / bitter lingers. A touch of oak.
Zin / Cab vibes
Nice glass of wine…

No notes taken after a large final day at the Australian Grand Prix in Casa Ferrari. I thought the matching glasses to the painted bottle a very classy touch. Pale salmon in colour. A lovely refreshing drink with notes of wild strawberry and a creamy sweetness to the palate. The mousse is not fine but it remains a delicious Rose Champagne. — 2 months ago
