Tamber Bey Vineyards The Lotus Collection Deux Chevaux Vineyard Red Blend 2023, Yountville California
It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Deep ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Nose of black currants, blackberries, black cherries, cedar, coffee, toast, light vanilla, dark chocolates, peppercorn, licorice, light earth, herbs and spices.
Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with cooked plums, currants, cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.
Long finish with medium tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a young Bordeaux blend from Yountville in Napa Valley. Rich and extracted. Dense and fruit forward. Chewy and interesting.
This Single Vineyard is very dry right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes of airtime. Nicely balanced and complex.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Good by itself or with food.
A blend of 51% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Malbec.
14.2% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$80.
