Révélation Vin de Pays d'Oc Cabernet Merlot
Languedoc, Languedoc Roussillon, France
Time for #MerlotThursday 😃 here's a simple one from France.
Dark ruby in color with a purple rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, black cherries, black currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, earth, chocolates, dust, light vegetables, river rocks and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blueberries, cherries, plums, wood, herbs, earth, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, leather, vegetables and black pepper.
Medium plus on the finish with fine tannins and tart raspberries.
This simple Merlot blend from France is enjoyable by itself or with food.
Not fully balanced, with a fruity mid palate and a tart finish. Very nice and soft mouthfeel, though. A nice $6 wine for every day.
Good right out of the bottle and gets very earthy (and loses its fruits) as it opens up, so drink it quickly...
Tannins come in after an hour of airtime.
I paired it with soft and hard cheeses.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
85 points.
$6.

Super cheap but so good. A lot of alcohol on the nose but very balanced once you taste it.

Red fruits on the nose with black pepper, metals, pencil lead, blackberries, plums and sweet cherries.
Nice and smooth on the palate with plums, sour cherries, earth, dark chocolate, currants and spices.
Long finish with leathery tannins and spices.
Can be had by itself, but it was much better with a piece of steak.
55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot.
Needed 2 hours to open up. Nice now and would be better in 2 to 4 years.

A nice blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from France. Easy drinking and good for parties, or just by itself.
Nicely balanced with a soft, refreshing mouthfeel, and nice complexity. A little bitter on the ending and will pair nicely with food.

Inexpensive, and a great everyday red. Good right out of the bottle but got better as it opened up (60 minutes).
