Tiny bottle of goodness. Fresh and balanced. — 8 years ago
It's time for #MerlotThursday!
Dark ruby in color with a nice reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, blueberries, cherries, toast, licorice, vanilla, cedar, mocha, coffee, chocolates, spices and black pepper.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, cherries, raspberries, wood, licorice, vanilla, earth, spices, light vegetables, pencil lead and peppercorn.
Medium plus on the finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This Napa Merlot is always enjoyable. Well balanced with mild complexity and a nice tangy finish. Lately, I'm really into Napa Merlots.
Good right out of the bottle and gets better in 30 minutes. Peeking now.
I paired it with cheeses and crackers, and will pair very nicely with BBQ Meats as well.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
