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

Deep ruby in color with a brick rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

Showing plums, currants, light cedar, earth, herbs, light vanilla, licorice, light vegetables, coffee and black pepper.

This 20 year old Merlot from Napa Valley is still drinking nicely, but past its peak. Elegant and interesting.

This is a nice surprise, as I didn't see it drinking so nicely at this age.

Needs an hour to open up in the bottle.

Good by itself, and better with food at this point. I paired it with light appetizers.

14.4% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

Consistently good Cabernet Savignon w/ a little Merlot, also Napa.

When your fruit is sourced from Oak Knoll district, Rutherford, Mount Veeder, Diamond Mountain District, Stags Leap District, and Howell Mountain, the result should be excellent and flavorful. It is. — 9 months ago

This is gorgeous! Ticks so many Pinot Noir boxes on the nose and palate. Sexy primary cherry fruit, ethereal, complex, earthy notes and slightly stemmy structure. Nice work Josh! 👍🏽👍🏽🍷🍷👌🏽👌🏽 — 10 months ago

Nice wine, but a bit less full and interesting than I was hoping. Slightly thin and almost a bit watery. Still nice refinement and a decent finish. — 5 months ago
