It's time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
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.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
88 points.
$25.
