It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with plums, cherries, currants, oak, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates, earth, peppercorn, herbs, tobacco leaf and light forest floor.

This is a tasty Merlot blend from Graves. A unique blend for this region.
Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Tangy and interesting.
Good right out of the bottle and better after 2 hours of airtime.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
A good food wine and good by itself too. Will pair nicely with BBQ Meats.
