Dark garnet/light ruby color. Aromas of dark cherries, blueberries and sweet baking spices. Dark berry fruit flavors are complimented by a hints of wet soil, iron, mint and abundant minerality. Nice long finish. Juicy and hefty with abundant acidity and smooth tannins. Part of Capital Grille’s 2024 Abundant Pour Program. — 8 days ago

Herbal entrance which soon is swapped to chocolate and wood which still has to integrate. It needs time to fully blossom but when it will, man, it’s gonna be so much fun. 97-98+ — 3 days ago

Another forgotten bottle. Subtle berries and cherries with a subdued finish after all these years. Still very drinkable. Paired with grilled local pasture feed porkchops. — a month ago

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

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, light black pepper, herbs, light vanilla and licorice.

Tangy finish with soft tannins.

This 5-year-old Merlot from Napa Valley is peaking now, and drinking very nicely. Fruit forward with an elegant mouthfeel.

Wine Spectator 91 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and good for parties. Good with food too.

A blend of 77% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Syrah. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

I think Hartford Court wines are an excellent value, and this wine fits into that category. Lemon, tropical fruits, and a hint of vanilla. Very refreshing. — 20 days ago
