This is a nice red blend from Napa. Showing black fruits with wood, earth, light vegetables, tobacco, chocolates, coffee and peppercorn.
Dry on the palate with medium acidity.
Nice finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
My last one from this vintage. This was worth keeping for a few years.
I paired it with lamb chops.

Time for some #Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Light nose of blueberries, plums, wood, licorice, black currants, herbs, coffee, spices and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with plums, cherries, cooked strawberries, currants, vanilla, licorice, spices, green vegetables, herbs, wood, coffee, earth, toast, tobacco leaf and peppercorn.
Tangy finish with nice length and fine grained tannins.
This is a tasty Merlot based blend from Napa. Well balanced, tangy, smooth and spicy. Shows nice balance with a soft mouthfeel.
I've had this vintage a few times before, and it is drinking much nicer now. I've been checking it, once or twice a year, to see how it evolves. It is worth keeping for a while longer. Will be better in the next two years.
Good right out of the bottle and a good everyday wine. After an hour of airtime, tannins come out to play, with nice structure. This 5 year old is drinking very nicely now.
A blend of 56% Merlot, 18% Malbec, 14% Petit Verdot and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon.

This is one of those by the glass try while waiting for others. Just an average red blend. Not sure how long this was open but rather weak nose. Some cherry and spice on the palate. Short finish.
