Napa Valley Merlot
This is a medium bodied Merlot with light acidity and a sort of blueberry plum flavor, a departure from Mr. Deis’ usual bigger Bordeaux style. It is a sort of cocktail red for warm weather.

Jun 7th, 2018Rich, thick, chewy, with just the right amount of mocha cherry but showing restraint in the oak, this Merlot will be amazing in a few years. If you drink now decant for at least one hour, this wine is quite young.

While it has the thick tannins one might expect, it has a slight acidic tang rather than a velvety smoothness. The prominent flavors are black currant, black pepper spices, and a touch of coffee in the tannic finish.

Black fruit and floral notes on the nose. The palate is juicy with blackberries and chocolate.

Smooth, easy drinking Merlot. Great for a casual night cap.

Feb 9th, 2018Trying out a new wine app, through which I’m writing this comment. Everyone seems to love this wine but me! I find it boring and am glad that, after a week of sipping this, it’s over.

Lighter than I expected, dry, not too tannic -y. Made lamb burgers and butternut squash. Became spicy as it aired. Would love to drink it again. Way to go naked wines!
