Paradigm Winery Oakville Merlot 2022, Napa Valley, California 

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back! 

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim. 

Fruity nose of blue and black fruits with light cedar, earth, herbs, milk chocolates and black pepper. 

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity. 

Dry on the palate with black plums, cooked cherries, blackberries, cedar, licorice, chocolates, spices, coffee, light earth, herbs, eucalyptus and tobacco leaf. 

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries. 

This is a delicious Merlot from Oakville in Napa valley. Nicely balanced and complex, soft and elegant. 

Still young, but already enjoyable even by itself. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine. 

Alcohol is nicely integrated already, smooth and engaging. 

I had the 2021 vintage not too long ago, and it is very consistent. 

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will also pair nicely with food. 

A blend of 90% Merlot with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in (50% new) French Oak barrels. 

14.9% alcohol by volume. 

92 points. 

$90.

Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1994, Pauillac, France 

#AgedWineTuesday 

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity. 

Dry on the palate with a beautiful nose. 

Showing black plums, black currants, cedar, dried figs, licorice, dark chocolates, earth, rhubarb, tobacco leaf, light black tea and black pepper. 

Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries. 

This 32 year old Pauillac is still drinking beautifully, but a bit past its prime. Rich and elegant. Very complex and spicy. 

This Second Growth Bordeaux needed 5 hours to open up properly, and was not that special right out of the bottle. 

Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel, and still showing enough fruits to balance the earth notes. 

Robert Parker 91 points. 

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and with food. 

A blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 8% Petit Verdot.

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back! 

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim. 

Red and black fruits on the nose with tobacco, light wood, licorice, chocolates, black pepper, herbs and spices. 

Full bodied and soft with medium plus acidity. 

Dry on the palate with cherries, red currants, sweet raspberries, coffee, sweet oak, chocolates, licorice, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, earth and mediterranean spices. 

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries. 

This 4 year old Super Tuscan Merlot is drinking very nicely now. Nicely balanced and elegant. Complex and entertaining. 

Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, and balance itself out. 

Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years. 

Wine Spectator 94 points. 

I had the 2021 vintage a couple of years ago at the winery, and it was much better. The 2022 vintage was not as good as the 2021, so there's that. 

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food. 

100% Merlot grapes were aged in French oak barrels for 12 months. 

14% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$65.

Nalle Winery Dry Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2015, California 

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Pretty nose of red and blue fruits with light cedar, chocolates, herbs, spices, earth, green beans, light cloves, light vegetables, tobacco leaf, black tea and black pepper.

Medium plus in body and elegant, with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, currants, cooked plums, light oak, spices, chocolates, licorice, herbs, peppercorn and green vegetables. 

Tangy finish with medium tannins and raspberries.

This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Dry Creek Valley in California. Fruity and entertaining. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Showing lots of earth notes at this point. 

Showing great complexity, especially on the nose, and easy drinking right out of the bottle. I did not decant it and let it open in the bottle.

This 11 year old Cabernet Sauvignon gets earthier as it opens up, and feels like a California Cabernet with a touch of old world. 
 
Drinking at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years. I had it 6 years ago, and it is drinking better now.
 
A good sipping wine that will pair nicely with food too.

A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot. A small production of only 1,400 bottles. 

13.7% alcohol by volume. 

91 points.

$70 (current vintage).

Opus One 2022, Napa Valley, California 

Dark ruby in color with a wide purplish rim. 

Earthy nose and medium plus in body with medium plus acidity. 

Dry on the palate with nice complexity. 

Showing red and black fruits with cedar, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, mediterranean spices and chocolate notes. 

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and raspberries. 

This Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley is extremely young and needs 10 years in the bottle to mature properly. Elegant and fruit forward, yet restrained.

I've had many different vintages of this wine, but never had it so young. Not as powerful as some other vintages, but already complex and nicely balanced. 

Feels like a good quality Left Bank Bordeaux, and will continue to age nicely, and get better in the next 20 years. 

Robert Parker 95 points. Wine Spectator 92 points. 

A good sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak. 

A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot and 1% Malbec. Aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months. 

14% alcohol by volume. 

92 points.

...Almost there, but it’s a BBQ wine right now (kind of like what we had with the Survivrost 2024).

...even if the palate is softer.

A blend of Merlot aged in American and French barrels.

3 right now, because it felt like it needed a couple of years, but I like where I think it’s going.
