Nickel & Nickel "Harris Vineyard" Oakville Merlot 2016
92
Wine Spectator
(11/15/2019) "Taut and pure-tasting, with sinewy power to the dried red currant, berry and wild herb flavors that are powered by firm acidity and tannins. The minerally finish offers sanguine notes, with hints of forest floor. Drink now through 2022."

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.

(8/4/2017) "Dusty garnet color. Aromas and flavors of dried berries, olive baguette, and mocha mousse with a satiny, bright, fruity medium body and a compelling, medium-long finish revealing notes of vanilla cream, pomegranate sorbet, hibiscus tea, and smoked nuts with moderate oak flavor. A wonderfully pure, fresh and evocative expression of merlot with a pretty oak frame."

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."

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."

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(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."

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(12/2018) "The 2016 Fontenil is ripe, racy and voluptuous. Floral and blood orange notes add lift and energy to the red berry and raspberry jam fruit. Vibrant and wonderfully inviting, the 2016 has so much to offer. Silky tannins add to the wine's sheer appeal. Drinking window: 2018 - 2026."

Barter & Trade "Volume Three" Columbia Valley Merlot 2017
90+
Our Score
(3/2019) Merlot is back! If you haven't tried one in a while, then this gem from Washington State needs to get into your glass today! Andrew Jones began his Barter & Trade label with Merlot. This latest release, Volume Three, is off-the-charts delicious. While the vineyard sourcing must be kept secret, we are told that the source winery sells its own Merlot for over $30 a bottle! And boy does this one taste like it. A blend of 92% Merlot and 8% Syrah, with luxurious barrel aging in 65% new French oak and 35% seasoned (previously used) French oak, the wine explodes with ripe fruit flavors of black cherries and plum layered with a dash of black pepper, dark baking spices, vanilla and mocha. All this, and a long, complex, finish. For Merlot drinkers, Cabernet drinkers and lovers of delicious red wine, this is a must-try!

(12/30/2019) "The 2016 Merlot H3 is a pure expression of a Merlot that has a fresh and fruity nose, showing a mix of American and French oak aromas.

Ending with a good, clean finish, the wine is easy-drinking and delivers well for the price. Drink Date: 2019 - 2023."

Aromas and flavors of blackberry jam, dried strawberry, vanilla bean, tea with honey, and flaky pastry with a satiny, crisp, fruity medium-to-full body and a polished, interesting, medium-length finish with accents of vanilla candle, sandalwood, and grilled berries with well-integrated, medium tannins and moderate oak flavor. An oaky, crowd-pleasing Merlot; juicy and delicious."
