Only had two bottles left. I opened this because I had the ‘13 935 the other night and it was on the backside of life. Great but most of the tension was gone. I opened this up thinking it too might not have much time left. It’s gorgeous. The tannins are mostly resolved but there’s still a touch of pucker on the finish providing a nice framing to the fruit. Also some acidity providing structure and tension.
The mouthfeel is incredible. Love the fruit. Black currant pinch, blackberry, coffee, with kirsch and black tea.
This bottle was my first experience with Hunnicutt. It and @Jason and Jennie ‘s reviews led to me joining the club. It’s my favorite club because of both the wine and the people. Tonight is a good wine night. Nice work @Justin Stephens

Pale ruby in color; bright cherries, black tea, and potpourri on the nose; medium plus acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like cranberries, raspberries, and clay pots with a long finish. Nellie didn't like it, Thy says it's gross, Jason says it's ok, I like it, and Wine Spectator ranked it as number 9 in its top 10 list of wines for 2024. — a month ago

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

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

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

Dry on the palate with red and black fruits, cedar, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco and herbs.

Long finish with fine grained tannins.

This is a delicious Merlot from Santa Clara Valley in California. Rich, yet elegant.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.

Good by itself, and will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

A blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Malbec. Aged for 36 months in oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$24 (at release). — 6 months ago
