Our 2006 Merlot was produced and bottled exclusively for our cherished Black Ridge Circle wine club members, along with the 2006 Cabernet Franc. With just 51 cases of this wine, it's sure to go fast! Limit 6 bottles per party.
Dark red color. Initial aromas of
anise, currant, blackberry, and blueberry jump readily out of the glass. Upon
further aeration, hints of cherry, vanilla bean, eucalyptus, and bacon round out
this complex Merlot. Cherry, blueberry, and anise continue through into the
palate and are met with notes of white chocolate and mint. The texture of this
wine is big and full, with ample tannins, necessitating decanting for immediate
enjoyment. This rich Merlot ends with a long, lingering finish. Enjoy now for
up to another 8 years.
