The 2016 Tenor Merlot is wonderful. It has a light smoked berry flavor.

This Merlot is bright on the nose. It has the perfect smooth start with a dry finish. It draws the taste to the roof of your mouth, leaving a lingering sweetness.

if you don’t think you like Merlot but wish you did, try the Tenor Merlot. The Merlot-ness is subtle and I think it’s quite a smooth, lighter-bodied Merlot. The tannins that come at the finish would do well to be balanced with some food but they are not so overpowering to prevent you from enjoying it by itself.

Nose bursts with fragrant ripe berries. Just enough to entice you into wanting it to delve into the glass. Lovely carry-through on the pallet. True perfection in this 2016!

This 100% merlot has a dark and juicy palate built on smoke, graphite, caramel, and blueberries with undertones of ripe plums and black fruit and rich tannins.

Really nice tangy, juicy red fruit. Notes of dried strawberry and golden raspberry, with a tiny bit of cedar wood. Bright and earthy.

Although not overly fragrant, O-M-G! Tenor wines just keep getting better. I could drink this all day with anything although pasta puttanesca is an ideal accompaniment.
