It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Nice nose of chocolates, cedar, licorice, spices and peppercorn.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with nice complexity. Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Showing red and black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, earth, tobacco, spices, peppercorn, coffee, light cola and chocolates.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This 9 year old Merlot is drinking beautifully now, and the great 2014 vintage is showing very well.

Feels like a Right Bank Bordeaux right out of the bottle, but after 3 hours of airtime it feels like a Napa Cabernet.

This Single Vineyard is showing nice complexity with nice balance, and will continue to age nicely in the 10 years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

$60. — 2 years ago

Pale lemon color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with toasty aromas, aged in about 35% new oak. On the palate flavors of melon and peach with lemon citrus zest and nutty vanilla notes, good balanced with acidity. Medium+ finish ending with fruit, oak and mineral character. — a month ago

If I were served this blind, I think I’d probably be more likely to peg this as a Saint-Emilion than a Napa Merlot. Not overly fruity, very nice savory notes. — 9 months ago

Located halfway up the hill dominating principal valley of Barolo, lined by vineyards, lies a precious 15th century Abbey of Annunziata. Medium Ruby with complex aromas of berry fruits, oak and fresh floral scents. On the palate dried tart cherry, tobacco, licorice, espresso and fresh herbs give this full-body wine grace and elegance. Soft fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit and earthy notes, well balanced, has have room to run over the next decade. Very Nice! — 4 months ago
