It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Nice nose of black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, vanilla, tobacco, milk chocolates and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, vanilla, licorice, cedar, leather, chocolates, tobacco, peppercorn and light cola.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Merlot based blend from Bolgheri in Tuscany. Feels like a red Bordeaux, with a Napa twist. Interesting stuff.
Elegant and robust. Rich and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Spicy and entertaining.
This 3 year old is still young, but already delicious. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.
A good quality wine that drinks wonderfully by itself. Will also pair nicely with a BBQ Meats.
A blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 14 months in French oak barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$120.
