Winemaker's Handprint Sonoma County Merlot

Good Merlot for a pizza night with family & friends.

I’ve had a few previous vintages of this usually decent Merlot. However something is off with this vintage. I would have bet it was the 2017 fire year and was surprised when I confirmed the 2015 vintage.

Had this as part of my wife’s birthday celebration and actually had this slightly chilled. Cherry, dust and earth tones, mild licorice, hint of blueberry on the nose. Very mellow tannins and overall just a nice, enjoyable wine. Second time having this wine and would have more in the future.

I’m not usually a fan or merlot but this one did check some boxes and had great flavor.

Maybe I got a bad bottle or something. I bought this on a whim based on its rating posted at the store but it did not live up to expectations. Flavorless with an odd finish is the only way I know to describe it. Again maybe my bottle was bad. If you plan to try it proceed with caution if you haven’t had it before and know you like it.

9/19. A great Merlot.

Excellent fruit flavor with very dry finish.

Definitely the best looking wine bottle I've owned. Actual handprints from the winery!

Had this at the Wine Festival :)

It's a Meeker merlot but smooth and everyday glass of wine...and love the bottle..
