Aromas of blueberry, blackberry, a little tobacco, and cedar. Super smooth wine.

Loved this wine. Strong tobacco on the nose, thick mouth feel, and it was still fruity enough for my taste.

This was unbelievably refreshing on a hot summer day. The strawberry taste really shined through and it had a lot more body than expected.

Classic smokiness expected of a S. American red; hearty Merlot. Tasty!

Ultra earthy, subtle floral aromatics from the Merlot, some cranberry notes, but serious dry dirt character on the finish. Much less jammy/weighty than an Argentine Malbec.

Nose is Intense fruit forward, deep rich in color, blackberry jam, cocao, toasty characters. One of the best merlots I have ever tasted.

Double Eagle WInery Napa Valley - Vintage Reserve Merlot - 2007

This Cuvee is actually 75% Merlot, 8% Cab Sauv, 7% Cab Franc, 5% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Syrah, and 1% Sangiovese. Whatever the combination, Deerfield's Merlot is the best I've tasted, and I love St. Supery's. There are so many flavors that all I can say is it's wonderfully complex with bright acidity and a lingering finish. Pair it with your favorite grilled meat, or drink it by itself. It doesn't matter. Highly recommended. $21

Aged 18 months in neutral, small oak barrels, this Merlot Reserve has really good structure and complexity. After aerating for an hour, the tannins were well balanced with a very enriching swish and smooth finish. Aromas of plum, cranberry, black licorice and leather translates well on the palate with black licorice on the sides of the tongue and vanilla on the finish. I actually timed the length of the finish to be about a minute and a half, so pretty long. I then decided to score it on the 100 point scale, and being a bit conservative it scored a worthy 88. It needs to be aged a bit as it's still young. It could easily be a complex Merlot worthy of any discerning palate.
