Pellet Estate Pellet Vineyard Merlot 2018, Napa Valley, California
It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Inky in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose with cooked plums, cedar, chocolates, black pepper, spices, light earth and tobacco leaf.
Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black plums, currants, cedar, licorice, cola, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices, light cinnamon and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Single Vineyard Merlot from Napa valley. Elegant and nicely balanced. Fruit forward, rich and complex.
This 7 year old Merlot is drinking beautifully now and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
The nose feels very fresh and complex. Showing a touch of Right Bank Bordeaux feel, which makes it more interesting.
Needed an hour in the decanter to open up properly and balance itself out.
Good by itself as a sipping wine and good with food. Will pair nicely with lamb chops or grilled meats.
100% Merlot grapes were aged in French oak barrels. A tiny production of only 300 bottles.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$100.
