Description WA 96pts. - WS 94pts. - According to the Wine Advocate: One of the finest Merlots being made in Napa is the 2007 Merlot (87% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Sauvignon). It has evolved gorgeously since tasted from barrel last year. This sumptuous wine offers beautiful melted chocolate, cocoa, and espresso notes intermixed with black cherry, plum, fig, and blackberry fruit. This opulent, full-bodied, sexy, prodigious California Merlot should give Kapcsandy’s Roberta’s Reserve a run for its money...

The Pahlmeyer 2009 Merlot Napa Valley is one of the finest Merlots produced in California. Highly collectible. Very limited. 94 Points Wine Spectator: "Plush and richly structured, but with a dense, structured core, offering aromas of red currant and toasty mocha that lead to complex flavors of black cherry and Asian spice. Loamy, ripe tannins sneak in on the finish. Drink now through 2018."

"The sensational 2007 Proprietary Red Wine (a 7,000-case blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec) is slightly more restrained aromatically than the Merlot, but there is no doubting its extraordinary bouquet of subtle smoked meats, oak, mountain wild flowers, blueberries, blackberries, coffee, and cassis. Super-rich and full-bodied with noticeable, but stunningly sweet tannins, it possesses a rare minerality and definition, characteristics that...

"Pahlmeyer's 1997 Merlot may be the finest Merlot ever produced in California. A profound blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, it offers gorgeous smoky, black cherry liqueur aromas mixed with melted fudge. The wine is unctuously-textured, super-concentrated, low in acidity, rich, and multilayered. This is a spectacular, hedonistic effort to drink over the next 15-20 years." - Robert Parker 96 Few bottles available.

There is no denying that this is a "well-endowed" bottle of wine---big bottle, big juice. What separates it from the "fruit bomb" stereotype is the wonderful character and structure it also possesses. While it is a very tasty drink now (essentially just off of the delivery truck!), it seems to have solid aging potential---never having tasted an "older" bottle of Buccella Merlot (there aren't any just yet) , I cannot say what it will develop into, but I suspect it will be something well worth the...

The 2007 Merlot (a 10,000-case cuvee that includes 15% Cabernet Sauvignon) may be the finest Merlot I have ever tasted from Shafer. Reasonably priced for a Napa Valley Merlot, it is characterized by elegance and substance. Its dark ruby/purple hue is followed by notes of wood spice, forest, flowers, berries, mocha, and wood smoke, medium to full body, sweet tannins, and good freshness. Enjoy it over the next 12+ years.

Producer notes: "81% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Syrah. This ripe and rich Merlot has lovely aromas and flavors of black cherry leaning to ripe plum and toasty oak. It gains pleasing mid-palate structure from the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Syrah adds complexity and balance through to the lengthy finish."

Vineyard Our Merlot grapes are estate grown on the winery’s Spanos-Berberian Estate Vineyard in Yountville approximately one mile south of the Yountville Hills. Yountville enjoys the early morning fog and cool growing conditions of the maritime influenced southern Napa Valley, whilst the early receding fog gives us more sunlight and warmer daytime temperatures than the more southerly Carneros region. Our warm summer daytime temperatures and cool evenings result in grapes with rich fruit flavors and...

Pahlmeyer’s 2nd label. Almost as good as it’s first! 78% Merlot, then Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, Petit Verdot & Malbec…all 5 Bordeaux grapes. Medium-full body, combination of red & black fruits, tobacco, leather & spice. Lots of layers and very well balanced. Boasts the classic Napa “juiciness.” Nice sexy barrel. We find this particularly complex and appealing & a good value.

An expressive duet from two of our premier estate vineyards. Merlot from our Hardester Ranch is planted in limiting soils on a hillside enclave to promote intensely concentrated small berries with tremendous structure and backbone. The cool valley-floor fruit of Napa River Ranch endows generous red fruit and a velvety texture. Anticipate an alluring nose of Bing cherry, violets, cocoa and baking spice which unrolls seamlessly on the tongue to a rich, elegant mid-palate. Expressive flavors of dark...

Well-known winemaker Bob Foley has been the consistent force behind these high quality wines from Hourglass. Extremely limited.

Description Winemaker Notes - This richly aromatic, elegant wine comes with layer upon juicy layer of lush red and black jam fruits – cherry, plum, currant – and dark chocolate, black tea, smoke and spice. The tannins are ripe and smooth with a finish that takes its time letting you go.

Description W&S 91pts. - According to Food & Wine Magazine: Waterstone gets the majority of its fruit from Napa Valley’s Truchard Vineyards, one of the largest and best vineyards in the region. The wine is lush and deeply flavorful, reminiscent of ripe black cherries. Tasting Notes - Sweet cherry, ripe plum, hints of vanilla and overtones of anise and aged leather appear in the aroma. On the palate, this generous wine features cherry, plum and blackberry fruit with supple tannins and a lingering...

One of the best California Merlots we've discovered! Try this gem while its still available. We call this the "Cab-drinker's Merlot" because it is always incredibly stout and complex. Delectus finally found a vineyard that was worthy enough to make a single varietal bottling again, and - oh my! - is this a gorgeous wine. The 2007 Merlot has knocked our socks off since the day we first tasted it and has continued to earn our highest praises. It is bold enough to pair with a steak, but this wine begs...
