For all of the Napa Valley #Merlot #haters - the '95 Liparita Merlot is in gorgeous form tonight. The bouquet showed a mix of ripe strawberry, cherry, blueberry and brown spice with hints of sweet herbs, crushed stone, and clove. It was soft on the palate with zesty acidity and perfectly resolved tannin which added body and tactile textures as notes of spicy cherry and blueberry caressed the senses along with a hint of dried citrus. It finished long with notes of tobacco, sweet herbs and remnants of dried red and blue fruits. Amazing for a wine that most people have either consumed early or forgotten about.
