Pleasantly different wine for me. Rose petal nose, dark sweet plum and black cherry flavor. Age smoothed the tannins a lot, but the acid and profile is good.
Paired for dinner of Greek blood orange and tomato chicken. Like I'm in the Adriatic now! — 7 years ago

I had the pleasure of interviewing Ivo Jeramaz on my last visit to Napa Valley. He's the nephew of winemaking legend, Mike Grgich and has taken the lead in much of the wineries day-to-day operations along with Mike's daughter, Violet. Ivo is a quiet and thoughtful in his speech—and his wines seem to reflect this. The 2012 Merlot is carmine-hued, and is more transparent than most Merlot I've encountered from Napa Valley. It possesses a kind of quiet restraint and lovely finesse with nuanced aromas of red currant, pie cherries, dried herbs and underbrush intertwining fine tannins a tart acidity. 14.0% ABV | Sample

Big and full, port like style. Good wine but not more than 1 or 2 glasses due to the intensity of the wine — 6 years ago

What a pleasant surprise! Smooth as silk, 15 months of oak without being too heavy. Thumbs up! — 7 years ago

Had this one after the Varbanov which was a mistake. The acidity came to much on the front so no fair rating... — 7 years ago

This wine is a real treasure if you can find it. My friend chef Ivo saved this bottle for me to enjoy at his Italian restaurant in Tokyo. It did not disappoint. Really enjoyed this. Would definitely buy it again if I can find it. Hat tip to chef Ivo. — 8 years ago
