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

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Beautiful nose of black currants, plums, rhubarb, cooked cherries, light wood, spices, dark chocolates, black pepper and licorice.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cherries, oak, spices, chocolates, tobacco leaf, coffee, licorice, peppercorn, earth and herbs.

Short finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.

This 13 year old Merlot based blend from Bordeaux is still drinking nicely, although will not last long. Easy drinking and complex.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime. I really enjoyed the nose once it opened up.

A good food wine that paired nicely with the charcuterie board.

A blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

Always looking for a great Bordeaux Blanc and this Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon did not disappoint. Full-bodied. Balanced. Refreshing. Grapefruit & floral aromas. Citrus & mineral flavors. Cheers🍷 — 4 years ago

Shades of dull purple, a bit cloudy, and a bit copper tone on the rim. Nose of nice ripe black cherry, strawberry, aldehyde, vanilla, spice, smooth in the nasal cavity, and hint of oak note. Nose is good and mature. Taste follows the nose with addition of mature tannins, slightly sweet, and tasty. Aftertaste is medium and mellow. Peak time now. Enjoy her now. — 5 years ago

Does anyone know the difference between this and a Sauternes? They taste so much alike. — a year ago
