La Muse Sonoma County Merlot Blend
Sonoma County, California, USA
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.
$500.
