Big smooth creamy merlot, with enough elements to make for a very nice experience. I will admit that most merlot dominant wines are not in my wheel house. I like things dry and the trend in California making merlot more "drinkable" moved it from dry to a sweeter and in my mind less complex and ultimately less enjoyable wine. All that said, one of my favorite French Bordeaux is Angleus, which is almost always 60% or more Merlot. This is a move back in the right direction, although not as far as I as an individual would hope. It is better than just a drinkable wine. It has some nuance to it with a nice nose.
Another new add to the site, I put a label in. Not sure I will have the ambition to do this everytime, but it does make it look more professional.
Back in awhile.
