Blend of 68% Merlot and 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, deep Ruby color with aromas of red and black fruits with toasty spice. On the palate flavors of black raspberry, currants and black cherry with licorice, toasty oak and tobacco. Fine chewy tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and earthy tobacco spice.

Consumed 30-Mar-2025. Dark purple red. Nose is abundant and yields blackberry and blueberry compote. Juicy medium full palate echoes the nose with ashy blackberry taking the lead. Juicy acidity. Medium minus tannins. Lingering, dark finish. An Old World feel makes this Washington GSM blend a great choice for hearty meals year round from the grill to the hearth. Rich meat and vegetable stews will shine. Drink now through 2031. — 7 months ago

Dark ruby hue. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, cassis, licorice, and plum. Plus body, plus tannins, plus acid. While strong, balanced, and elegant, it opens up with a soft, round palate. Exemplary Napa red. 68 Cab Sauv, 28 Merlot, 2 Cab Franc, 2 Petit Verdot. — 2 years ago

Pretty color of dark ruby with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black currants, black plums, light oak, spices, tobacco leaf and dark chocolates.

Medium plus in body and elegant, with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with blueberries, cooked cherries, black currants, plums, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, spices and black pepper.

Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Saint Estephe. Elegant, and still very fruit forward, for a 10 year old wine.

Will continue to age nicely in the next few years, but already drinking beautifully now. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and nice complexity.

Dry on the palate with cedar, apples, citrus, pears, lemons, spices, herbs, vanilla, light earth and black pepper.

Long finish with limes and almonds.

This is a delicious Chardonnay from Sonoma County. Nicely balanced with a soft mouth feel. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and complex.

Needs an hour to open up properly.

Peaking now and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.

It's time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.

Strong nose of black plums, black currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, herbs, spices, earth and peppercorn.

Full bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with plums, cherries, oak, earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee and black pepper.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a young Merlot from Bordeaux. Showing mild complexity with a nice mouthfeel.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.
