Me Vineyard Collection Northridge Vineyard Merlot
Wow!
This nose is eucalyptus growing through the old dusty cellar.
The nose is as crazy as the flavor profile, heavier bodied with cab fruits - this is not your parents fruit Merlot - this is an education in what Merlot can be, and why you should keep trying varietals you may have given up on.
Still celebrating! 🍷✊🏳️🌈

Wow. This is a rich, gorgeous wine that deserves an attempt at a proper note. Pours a pretty burgundy/garnet color. Pronounced aromas push out of the glass: blackberry, blueberry, prune. Vanilla and a dusting of tobacco, but the fruit is the show. Same flavors once you start sipping, but the finish, wow: like a delish blackberry/blueberry cobbler, coating my mouth and lingering on and on.

The mouthfeel is richly beautiful. The palate has; dark cherries, cherries, dry strawberries, hints of blue fruits and then the spices quickly kick in with a heat lifting intensity. Notes of red fruit liqueur. Nice round acidity with a beautiful, elegant fruit and medium spiced finish. Substance is another label under the Charles Smith brand. In fact, I was told, Charles has further evolved the name to "Wines of Substance" going forward.
