(11/30/2019) "An elegant style, featuring lilting flavors of red currant and dried raspberry that show hints of cedar and paprika. Fine-edged, with savory richness midpalate. Dried green herbal notes emerge on the minerally finish. Drink now through 2026. 1,657 cases made."

Hickinbotham "The Revivalist" Clarenon Vineyard McLaren Vale Merlot 2016

(1/31/2019) "One of the best Merlots I've tasted from Australia, Hickinbotham's 2016 The Revivalist Merlot does hint at cherry tomatoes, cedar and vanilla on the nose, but it nails the mouthfeel. It's medium to full-bodied, with a rich, velvety texture and layers of cherry and mocha flavors that linger into the long, plush finish. Drink Date: 2018 - 2028."

Chateau Monbousquet Saint-Emilion 2014

James Suckling

Wine Spectator
(3/31/2017) "Not shy, with hefty fig paste and blackberry pâte de fruit notes backed by a rumble of bramble, ganache and licorice snap. Underneath roils a base layer of tobacco and graphite that should slowly surface with time. May have pushed the extraction envelope ever so slightly, but this keeps it together in the end. Best from 2022 through 2032."

Clos Larcis Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2014
Sharing the same great land as Chateau Pavie, it's no surprise that the 2014 Clos Larcis is strikingly beautiful. Produced from 100% Merlot, it expresses the charm and elegance of classic Saint-Emilion. This ready-to-drink Right Bank beauty leaps from the glass with delicious fruit flavors of ripe plum, black cherry and raspberry followed by notes of dried earth, fresh garden herbs and subtle spices. The palate is full-bodied with a silky soft mouthfeel. At 13.5% ABV, it is refined and well balanced with integrated tannins that melt off during the long finish. Polished and elegant, it is drinking great now and has the structure and finesse to be cellared for at least another five years.

Rombauer Carneros Merlot 2016

Jeb Dunnuck
(1/31/2019) "Incorporating 12% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Merlot is made from the same cloth and has a sweetly fruited, charming, delicious style as well as lots of red and black currants, black cherry, graphite, and chocolaty herb aromas and flavors. It's a sexy, delicious effort to drink over the coming 4-6 years."

Frog's Leap Napa Valley Merlot 2014
91+
Our Score
(10/2017) Frog's Leap proprietor John Williams credits the movie "Sideways" with actually saving Merlot! He believes that it helped to weed out the "plonk" Merlot that was being made, leaving grapes made with the care and attention to detail that this noble varietal deserves. The 2014 Frog's Leap is an excellent example of what Merlot should be. Dark cherry, plum and blueberry fruit dance on the palate with a spicy, velvety finish. A stunningly elegant wine, this should not be missed.

(11/17/2015) "Very aromatic with incense, rose petal, black olive and dark fruits. Full body with gorgeous depth of fruit and clarity. Hints of smoke, toasted oak and chocolate. Rich, flavorful finish. A luscious pure merlot."

Andrew Will Columbia Valley Merlot 2016
92
Wine Advocate
(6/29/2018) "The 2016 Merlot from Andrew Will is a beauty - which augers very well for this year's vineyard-designate bottlings. Offering up aromas of black cherries, cassis, sweet spices and subtle notes of fruitcake, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and generous, with an ample core of ripe but succulent fruit, melting tannins and a long finish. Drink it over the next 5 or 6 years to profit from its youthful exuberance. Drink Date: 2018 - 2023."

Robert Keenan Napa Valley Merlot 2014
92
Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(12/2016) "Keenan's 2014 Merlot is a very pretty wine that shows the more translucent side of Merlot. Lifted, bright and articulate, the 2014 offers lovely finesse in its red-toned fruit and floral aromatics. I would prefer to drink the 2014 sooner rather than later given its mid-weight structure."

(12/2018) "The 2016 Fombrauge has come together beautifully during its aging and is now a much more refined wine than it was from barrel. Sweet red berry fruit, mocha, espresso, mint and floral notes all grace this exquisite, mid-weight Saint-Emilion. The 2016 is simply impeccable, not to mention incredibly delicious. There is not much more to it than that. Tasted two times. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2036."
