Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This Merlot really shows its strength as a plush, red varietal with a pleasing softness, bright red fruits and deep texture. In its youth, it has a deep structure with fullness in the flavors and aromas.

Professional Ratings

91 James Suckling
If you like them big, this could be for you! A ton of chocolate aroma isn’t enough to smother all the ripe plums of this rich merlot and the full, supple tannins fill out the widescreen body rather well. Balanced, but slightly simple finish. Drink or hold.

With generous fruit and supple tannins, Merlot is made in a range of styles from everyday-drinking to world-renowned and age-worthy. Merlot is the dominant variety in the wines from Bordeaux’s Right Bank regions of St. Emilion and Pomerol, where it is often blended with Cabernet Franc to spectacular result. Merlot also frequently shines on its own, particularly in California’s Napa Valley. Somm Secret—As much as Miles derided the variety in the 2004 film, Sideways, his prized 1961 Château Cheval Blanc is actually a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
