Perfectly balanced, this Slovenian merlot is all ripe black plum, blackberry, sultana, currant, mocha, with hints of mint and dark chocolate. Grippy but fairly integrated tannins lending to a pretty long and smooth finish. Superb

2010 Slovenian Merlot from Kabaj. Bold, dry, savory, and somehow reminiscent of the sea.

Wonderful. Has the lightness of an Oregon Pinot or a Loire cab Franc but the palate characteristics of Merlot and perhaps montepulciano? Plus, it's Slovenian. Also, go eat at Papilles.
