It’s time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
On the nose black plums, currants, oak, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates, black pepper, herbs, tobacco leaf, earth and light forest floor.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with currants, black plums, cherries, tobacco, oak, green vegetables, chocolates, earth, herbs and black pepper.
Medium on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a tasty Merlot blend from Bordeaux. Showing nice complexity and mouthfeel.
I had this vintage a couple of years ago, and it is drinking much better now.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes of airtime.
A good food wine that I paired with cheeses and crackers.
A blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 16 months in (60% new) French Oak barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$30.
