It's time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
On the nose black plums, currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, tobacco, herbs, earth, dark chocolates and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cherries, wood, spices, peppercorn, dark chocolates, coffee, pencil lead and black pepper.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a tasty Merlot based blend from Saint Emilion. Tangy and interesting. A nice food wine and good by itself.
This 7 year old from the great 2015 vintage is still young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.
Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, but good right out of the bottle, too.
Wine Enthusiasts 91 points.
I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
A blend of 82% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon.
14% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$40.

Soft but with character, like a good Red Bank wine should be. Lots of cranberry sauce, blueberry cobbler, and clay aromas with hints of cigar box coming through. Tasty, easy to drink for a Bordeaux, but not as earthy as I'd expect. That said, very solid wine for the price and a good way to trick anti-Merlot Sideways snobs into trying something they claim not to like.
