Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.


Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.


Dry on the palate with mild complexity.


Showing cherries, plums, light oak, spices, chocolates, licorice and peppercorn.


Medium finish with soft tannins.


This is a nice entry level Merlot from Lazio in Italy. Fresh and young. 


Feels like a Right Bank Bordeaux. Interesting stuff.


I've had the 2017 vintage a few years ago, and it is very consistent. 


Easy drinking and a good food wine. 


A blend of 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc.

This week's #MerlotThursday is from Italy.

Dark ruby in color with medium plus intensity.

Fruity nose of blueberries, cherries, currants, light oak, spices, earth, herbs, light vegetables and dark coffee.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, strawberries, plums, raspberries, wood, peppercorn, earth, tobacco leaf, spices, graphite and bitter herbs.

Medium length on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This Bordeaux blend from Italy is nice and easy drinking.

Tangy and spicy with a nice mouthfeel. Fruit forward with mild complexity.

Good right out of the bottle and good by itself or with food. I paired it with a gorgeous view of the lake.

I had this vintage before and this time it's a little better. Is it the view?

A blend of 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc. Aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

It’s time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Here's a nice Italian Merlot blend.

Dark ruby in color with a red rim.

Pretty nose with blueberries, black cherries, earth, vegetables, leather, peppercorn, tobacco and dark chocolates.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, strawberries, red currants, spices, light wood, tobacco, earth, herbs, dark coffee and peppercorn.

Nice length on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a nice Merlot based Bordeaux blend from Italy. Fruit forward and easy drinking. A nice everyday wine that will pair nicely with food or just by itself.

Right out of the bottle, it feels like a new world wine. Only after 30 minutes of airtime it comes to itself. Better after an hour of airtime, when tannins and more structure come into place.

I paired it with cheeses and light appetizers.
