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

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Nice nose of blue and black fruits with light wood, spices, licorice, light earth, vegetables, herbs, tobacco leaf and dark coffee.

Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates, licorice, coffee, tobacco leaf, earth and black pepper.

Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins, raspberries and peppercorn.

This 7 year old Merlot from Bordeaux is peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years. Complex and interesting.

I had this vintage 3 years ago, and it hasn't changed much, except that the nose has become noticeably prettier.

Needs a couple of hours to open up properly so be patient.

Good by itself and better with food. I paired it with grilled picanha.

A blend of 71% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$25. — a year ago

This is an excellent modern-day entry level Cabernet Franc. Dazzlingly simple, yet awash with refreshing weight, dark fruit, Chinese spices, and a subtle dollop of black/green tea. If you are looking for something less obvious go back to red Burgundy. (This red straddles old world structure with new world gloss. I fear gloss will eventually win out. But for now...👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾) — 6 years ago

It had a weird texture to it and nothing memorable. Another one that is overpriced. — 9 months ago

I missed the pineapple and apricot mentioned in the other reviews, all I got was grapes. Really nicely bottled grapes. There’s a bit of terrior, is that chalky loam I taste? A bit of truffle on the nose, nice primrose overtones and a lovely afternoon day glow to the color palette. Really, just chill this in ice for a hot by the pool or picnic experience, or let it evolve after a hard fridge chill and enjoy it as you cook dinner and have another bottle ready at 52 degrees to enjoy with a pasta du Blanc or Shrimp Alla Buzara. — 7 years ago

Medium yellow. Slightly smoky on the nose but still clean and a little marzipan. Nice amount of citrus on the palate with honeysuckle, and white fruits. Crisp and refreshing acidity (6/10) and light bodied. Medium finish with light minerality. Drink now. — 9 years ago
