Barlow Vineyards
Calistoga Merlot
Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruit and herb spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and raspberry with cacao, licorice and earthy herb notes. Fine soft tannins, nice acidity, good balance on long finish ending with fruit, tobacco and cedar notes. Drinking well now! Tasting Sample!

Jul 29th, 2014Well made Merlot with good balance and not jammy or over oaked. Perfect with the Asian pork strips. Medium length. Black fruits and hints of earth. 6 bottles at AA8 so can’t complain! Opened 12/8/20. Just a smidge of Sherry oxidative note? Again went well with Evan's ribs
