It's time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Here is a gorgeous Merlot.
Inky in color with a short purple rim.
Full bodied and bold with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and very fruity with blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, chocolates, sweet tobacco and black pepper.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This is a delicious Merlot. Easy drinking and fruit-forward. In your face kind of wine at this point. Extracted and rich.
Delicious right out of the bottle, but still young and needs many years to mature properly. Already yummy, though.
Showing very nice complexity already, which is very nice to see.
Will be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
Paired wonderfully with BBQ Meats.
100% Sugarloaf Merlot grapes. A small production of only 200 cases.
14.9% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$100.
