Bennett Valley Merlot

Monthly WTF group. Theme this month was merlot. All wines tasted blind.

I guessed this was French and that it was mid-2000s. Quite a bit of herbal notes, soft plum and stewed red and black fruits. Low acidity. Came across as over the hill a bit, which is surprising given the vintage. Still a nice merlot from Sonoma.

Hefty. Very decadent wine, extracted fruit, chocolate cake, etc.

Blueberry compote, dark chocolate, mint,

2012 vintage. Deep color with chocolate and rich plum. Well balanced with just the right oak. Exciting to taste '12 vintage coming out of the West coast. We are all in for a treat.

Vintage 2010; drank on 4/19/2020

Remarkable. Red fruit, red licorice, dill and oak.

Ok can you say absolute monster tannin and fruit bomb. This is definitely not from Pomerol or st. Emilion. I think you al understand!!

Drank With Connie at Barnsley Resort

Excellent medium balanced Merlot with very smooth finish . Pleasant light berry nose.

Very good merlot. Lots of mineral and fruit up front. I
