It's time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Dark purple /inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Very dry on the palate with medium plus acidity.

Showing black currants, dried figs, raisins, over ripen cherries, light oak, licorice, light vanilla, spices, mildew, chocolates, tobacco leaf, bitter herbs, light earth, cola and peppercorn.

Long finish with soft tannins and raspberries.

This 11 year old, Single Vineyard, Merlot blend from Argentina is still drinking nicely, although not in its peak anymore. I've been meaning to drink it for a few years, but so much wine, so little time... 😉

Showing nice complexity with an elegant mouthfeel. Feels like an older Right Bank Bordeaux. Interesting stuff.

A little off now, and lost much of the fruits, but still enjoyable especially with food.

Good right out of the bottle and did not change much with airtime. Alcohol is well integrated by now.

A small production of only 26 barrels produced.

A blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Franc.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$45.

Hand of God Fingerprint Series Red Blend 2010: Medium-full bodied. Excellent balance. Velvety tannins with layers of fruit flavors. Blackberry. Blueberry. Plum. Leather. Earth. Oak. Long smooth finish. Consisting of 55% Malbec, 35% Syrah & 10% Petit Verdot, this Argentine red blend presented nice structure & depth and after some breathing time, it released its true crowd-pleasing beauty. Definitely an outstanding wine selection with a very fitting name! En familia con el mano de dios! Cheers 🇦🇷🍷

Dec 7, 2021. Argentinian blend of Malbec, Syrah, petit Syrah. Deep purple color, black fruit. I had higher hopes for this wine, it lacks the depth and complexity I expected.

Muted dark, stewed black fruits, likely age related. Leading to soft tannins and balanced feel.

Well balanced red blend dominated by Malbec (55%). Nice tannins and moderately high acidity with plum and pepper notes
