Merlot

Merlot

The Merlot grape is a red wine grape that is used as a blending grape and for wines that use different varieties of grapes. A Merlot-based wine has a medium body with hints of current, plum and berry. Merlot blends well with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes for variety wines. The Merlot grape has been a popular favorite in the US and in Chile, as well as throughout the world for making wine because of its flexibility and unique flavor.

Rutherford Grove
Napa Valley   Merlot
WS86
Wisps of evergreen add to a slight leanness in the cherryish fruit of this wine, and even though it carries suggestions of richness in its somewhat fleshy entry texture, it never acquires the depth or juicy center of complete Merlot. Its finish runs to an edge of greenness and is somewhat pinched.
2001 $21.99
4 Swanson
Swanson
Napa Valley Oakville Merlot
BH91
Supple yet well-structured, with cherry blossom and toasty vanilla aromas and sleek red currant and Asian spice flavors that finish with cedary tannins. Drink now through 2014. 15,000 cases made.
2005 $29.99
5 Bogle
Bogle
California   Merlot
WE84
Developed and intense fruit from this harvest has produced one of our most full-bodied merlots yet! Deep cherry fruit hits both the nose and palate upon the first sip, followed by soft hints of summer anise. Touches of pipe tobacco and spicy oak lend weight to the finish, trailed by firm, assertive tannins. Enjoy this wine with a wide range of food: from pasta to hearty meat dishes, or of course, all by itself!

13 Stags'' Leap Winery
Stags'' Leap Winery
Napa Valley Merlot Merlot
Merlot vines grow exceptionally in the Bale Loams of Stags’ Leap: alluvial soils with volcanic ash minerality. Underneath the top layer exists a deeper layer of sandy loam laced with gravel and cobbles, allowing the kind of quick and thorough drainage that leaves the vines a little thirsty, concentrating their flavors. Careful vineyard selection, followed by meticulous farming yields a Merlot with rich fruit flavors, full body, and firm structure.

16 Chappellet Vineyard
Chappellet Vineyard
Napa Valley   Merlot
BH88
24% Cabernet Sauvignon. Very much showing its high percent-age of Cabernet, this sturdy young wine tempers the cherries of Merlot with evident cassis and touches of loamy, almost briary spice. It is fairly full-bodied and framed by obvious tannins in the mouth, and it toughens up at the finish. Happily, it exhibits good fruity depth and extension, but it is in need of brief cellar aging before rounding fully into shape.
2004 $32.99
17 Behrens And Hitchcock
Behrens And Hitchcock
Mendocino Alder Springs Ranch Merlot
WA90
Medium ruby-red. High-toned aromas of blackberry, licorice and leather. Sappy, slightly medicinal, fruit-driven flavors of dark berries, shoe polish and mint. Bright and chewy in the middle, but narrows slightly on the finish.
2000 $48.99
18
Robert Keenan Winery
Napa Valley   Merlot
BH85
Cherries, a touch of candy and whiffs of both orange-rind and herbs lend the aromas of this bottling a distinct varietal bent, but the wine's dull, slightly dry flavors find neither a commensurate measure of fruit nor positive richness, and they end on a note of mildly tannic austerity.
2003 $29.99
19
Silverado Vineyards
Napa Valley   Merlot
BH84
10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Smelling of ripeness but not of fruit, this big too stolid offering relies on dried plum notes and quiet hints of dark chocolate for character in both nose and mouth. Its finish, however, is tight and dry, and, overall, the wine delivers more structure than center.
2003 $23.99
20
Frei Brothers
Dry Creek Valley   Merlot
BH84
6% Cabernet Sauvignon; 3% Zinfandel. From its candied, red-cherry aromas to its very simple, mildly fruity flavors, this clean but innocuous wine is very much the minimalist with respect to richness or real substance. While its tannins are minor, they are noticeable in light of the wine's fundamental shortage of real stuffing and strength.
2004 $14.99
21 Twomey Cellars
Twomey Cellars
Napa Valley   Merlot
ST90
Dark red. Flamboyant, sexy aromas of black raspberry, blackcurrant, chocolate, coffee and smoked meat. Lush, broad and full but quite dry, with notes of currant, chocolate and tobacco. Pliant, sophisticated merlot with real personality. Finishes with fine tannins and lingering, dry flavors.
2001 $80.99
22
Nickel & Nickel
Diamond Mountain Sori Bricco Vineyard Merlot


2004 $42.99
23 Burgess Cellars
Burgess Cellars
Napa Valley   Merlot
ST90
Reserved, dusty aromas of black fruit, coffee bean and clove with touches of smoke and coconut. Gritty flavors of plum, black cherry, minerals, bittersweet chocolate and iodine are more expressive than suggested by the nose. Silky close.
2004 $23.99
24
Chateau Julien
  Estate Merlot
Aromas of toffee, dark cherry and ripe berry extend through a subtle presence of cedar. This wine's medium-bodied palate and balanced acidity result in pure, intense flavors and depth. The touch of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon contribute texture, structure and a broad, full finish.

One-hundred percent Monterey County grapes from our Estate Vineyard were harvested for this flagship small production wine. The vineyard’s location in the southern Salinas Valley benefits from long warm days, a cooling ocean influence and long “hang time” on the vine. Vibrant fruit with intense varietal flavor and good acidity led to a September 6th harvest at 24.9 brix. Upon harvest, the grapes were crushed crushed and fermented on the skins for 9 days before aging in 50% new French Nevers oak barrels for 28 months. A small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes were ultimately blended with the Merlot.
