Probably the best from a lineup that has gone in the direction that isn’t my palates favorite. Still big and robust, but not as jammy and chocolaty as it’s relatives.

Legend says the Merlot grape was named after the little black bird that used its clever wit to steal fruit from the vines. Inspired by this story, our winemaker crafted our Apothic Merlot with untamed notes of blackberry and vanilla, and a plush, velvety finish that soars at first sip.

Deep purple in color; chocolate, black plums, and blackberries on the nose; low acidity; low tannins; tastes like blackberry jam and plum sauce with a medium finish; definitely some residual sugar. Easy drinking, but none of the structure I want in a wine.

I really enjoy Apothic's wines, and this is one of their best so far. Very smooth, lots of berries.
