Oakville Estate Vineyard Merlot

Merlot is not my favorite varietal but this was a good one. Great balance, full flavor, and just enough nuance to keep me interested in every sip.

Wow! What an amazing Merlot. Blackberry, hint of tobacco, vanilla, and coffee notes. All the more the reason to love Merlot.

This is a nice drinking merlot. A testament to its quality it was given complements from a cab snob. This is smooth and elegant with several different attributes. Plums, and raspberries and tobacco were some of the highlights for me. I liked the finish of this one.

The '14 Venge merlot is all about glycerin and fruit while the '13 is tannin. '14 hunnicutt cab showed it is a better value than the martini '12 lot 1 ('13 coming soon). Seghesio '14 monte Rosso zin edged out the '14 Biale version.
