My last bottle and not much change since my last review 2.5 years ago. Dark cherry, plum, anise, and tobacco on the nose. Rich, velvety, smooth, long finish. Don’t think it has really started to decline yet. — a month ago

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby color with a reddish rim.
Fruity nose of red and black fruits with cedar, vanilla, licorice, light earth, spices, chocolates, herbs and peppercorn.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, chocolates, herbs, light earth, spices, tobacco leaf, peppercorn and dark coffee.

This 7 year old Merlot from Napa Valley is drinking beautifully now. Elegant and fruit forward, complex and engaging. Smooth and soft. Nicely balanced with a great mouthfeel.
Drinking at its peak, and will continue to do so in the next 5 to 7 years. Needs a couple of hours to open up properly.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.

This 5 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is drinking beautifully now. Elegant and rich. Concentrated and powerful.
Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel, and a gorgeous nose. Good right out of the bottle and better with some air time.
This Single Vineyard Napa Cabernet needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already so approachable. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years, and showing good potential to become a 96+ point wine.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

This wine is very pale, almost clear. The bubbles rise quickly and dissipate the same way, leaving a frizzante juice. The nose is mineral-based, with hints of lemon, peach, pear, and flowers. The palate shows a split between fruit and minerals, maybe leaning a bit more into minerals. Acidity is nice, but not racy. It's a pleasant sip, suitable for pairing with a soft cheese, fruit, or a salad. — 10 months ago
Pale lemon in color.
Pretty nose of white flowers, honey, lemons, spices, tropical fruits, red apples, honeysuckle, guava and white pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry to off dry on the palate with citrus, apples, pears, honeydew, black pepper, bitter herbs, light vegetables and spices.
Spicy finish with light almonds and black pepper.
This is a very tasty Gewürztraminer from Anderson Valley. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and spicy.
Showing nice complexity with a smooth mouthfeel. Easy drinking and good for parties.
Nicely balanced with enough acidity to balance the sugars, and good by itself as a sipping wine.
Way too easy to drink this, so you better watch out, as the high alcohol will creep up on you really quickly.
I paired it with beautiful view.
