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

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Pretty nose of black currants, black plums, cherries, light cedar, licorice, chocolates, black pepper, black tea, herbs and spices.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

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

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This young Merlot from Sonoma County is already drinking beautifully, but needs a few more years in the bottle to mature properly.

Fruit forward and very elegant, with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel. Spicy, tangy and entertaining. Feels like a Right Bank Bordeaux.

I've had an older vintage of this Merlot not too long ago, and it was drinking even better. Will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years. Has good potential to become a 96+ point wine.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of 90% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Malbec. Aged for 16 months in (95% new) French oak barrels.

14.1% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

I’ve had both La Muse and La Joie so I was happy to get to try Le Désir. I think I like this cab franc dominated blend the best. The nose is floral with green fresh notes. On the palate it’s rich, full bodied with a luxurious velvety texture. Dark fruit, bell pepper, spices, licorice with powdery tannins that starts to melt into the wine completely. Starting to hit its peak. — 4 years ago

Heavy, rich tannery, leather, cigar smoke, hot cinnamon. Plums.

Woah, reminds me why I love this region. Not the most rounded Vacqueyras I’ve had, but definitely got the smokey, rich, spicy, full body notes I love, paired with an incredibly silky mouthfeel.

Intense fruits of blackberry, raspberry, plums. Moderate to high acidity works well here with the intense jams. — 7 years ago

Great wine to enjoy with a friend or alone!
Before I opened, refrigerated for 20 minutes and The more I let it breathe the more I enjoyed the wine. The Tempranillo grape used for this wine, made it a wine I would definitely drink again. — 4 years ago
