Bryn Proprietary Red Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for a delicious Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Deep purple/ Inky in color with a short purple rim.
Big strong nose with blueberries, blackberries, black cherries, licorice, cedar, light vanilla, spices, raisins, chocolates, dried figs, light alcohol and peppercorn.
Full bodied, smooth and elegant, with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with cooked cherries, cedar, espresso, vanilla, spices, cola, herbs, beef jerky, tar, peppercorn pencil lead, dark chocolates and tobacco leaf.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a gorgeous Merlot based blend from Napa Valley.
Good right out of the bottle and better after an hour of airtime.
Tasty and concentrated. Rich and powerful, and not for the faint of hearts.
This young Bordeaux blend is already fabulous, will be so much better in 10 years, and will age nicely in the next 15 years. Would be nice to revisit it again in 5 years.
A blend of 67% Merlot and 33% Cabernet sauvignon. A small production of only 300 cases.
14.9% alcohol by volume.
94 points.
$125.

It's time for some #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a gorgeous one from Napa Valley.
Dark inky in color with a short purple rim.
Pronounced nose of cooked cherries, dried figs, raisins, blackberries, light vanilla, cedar, mocha, light earth, chocolates, coffee, tobacco and black pepper.
Full bodied, big, soft, smooth and elegant with medium acidity and long long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, leather, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, mocha, cola, light earth, maple, alcohol, peppercorn and coffee.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Napa Valley is just delicious now, although still young.
Showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel. Well balanced and fruit forward.
Definitely a wine to sip on all by itself. No need for food here, although a big, juicy steak would be fine too 😊.
Good right out of the bottle and gets better as it opens up and shows the complexity. I gave it 4 hours in the decanter before I started drinking it.
This reminds me of the Insignia. I would love to try them side by side. I'd love to see how it evolves in 10 years.
Spicy and interesting. Elegant yet powerful. Tasty, smooth and delicious. Loved the palate better than the nose at this point, but this will probably change in 5 years from now.
A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot. A small production of only 250 cases.
15.5% alcohol by volume.
96 points.
