2007 Merlot
  • Appellation: Napa Valley
  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc,
    Amuse Bouche (Napa, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Heidi Peterson Barrett
  • The 2007 harvest was characterized by its split personality. After a moderate summer, a burst of heat in early September led a number of wineries to pick earlier than usual. However, the harvest stalled due to a dramatic cooling off period in mid September. When it resumed later in the month, our vineyards clearly had benefited from the extended hang time. The later harvest allowed an optimal ripening period for our Merlot and Cabernet Franc blocks, which we picked just before heavy rainfall str... ...read more

    2006 Roberta's Reserve
  • Appellation: Yountville
  • Merlot Blend
  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc,
    Kapcsandy Family Winery (Yountville, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Denis Malbec
  • The 2006 Roberta's Reserve State Lane Vineyard is a blend of 94% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc. There are only 250 cases of this cuvee, which exhibits chocolate, espresso roast, licorice, roasted herb, black currant, mocha, and wild mountain berry fruit notes. Vibrant acidity, medium to full body, and good freshness are surprising for a Napa-based wine, but the winemaking team is undoubtedly seeking freshness and vibrancy. This 2006 should drink well for 12-15 years - 94 point - Robert Parker

  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon,
    Rosenthal - The Malibu Estate / Surfrider (Malibu, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Christian Roguenant
  • Low-yield hillside fruit contributes to a richness and complexity not seen in “standard” Merlots. A full yet supple wine, with hints of black cherry, plum, mocha, exotic spices, and a kiss of oak. Bright berry fruit, elegant mid-palate, and a lingering finish, with refined, well-integrated tannins.

    Annadel Wines (St. Helena, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Clean, pure, and serious, the wine is rounded out by 50% tight-grain new French Oak from a selection of coopers and barrel aged for 17 months. Aromatically, black tea, sage, citrus blossom, confiture cerises, brioche, honeysuckle, and allspice are evident. On the palate, an expansive entry evolves to a round and balanced texture with flavors on the border between the red and black fruit spectrums exhibiting black cherry, red currants, and plum notes.

  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon,
    River Star Vineyards (San Miguel, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • The 2002 vintage provided excellent conditions for fully ripening our fruit. Warm late season temperatures ensured deep pigmentation and supple tannins in the grape skins. A traditional light crushing followed by tank fermentation at moderately warm temperatures and twice-daily pumpovers allowed full extraction of flavor and color components. Barreled immediately following the pressing of the must, this Merlot resided in a combination of French and American Oak for a period of a year and a half.... ...read more

  • Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon,
    Hahn Estates (Soledad, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Paul Clifton
  • The Hahn Estates 2007 Merlot is a bold wine from the start. A deep and rich violet hue sets the stage for a simple swirl which gives way to the nose of this wine that stays true to the classic Merlot varietal with aromatics of plum, black cherry and blackberry. Deeply complex, with layers of clove and cracked pepper it is soft and juicy in the mouth. Red fruit flavors then emerge, while broad tannins and a pleasant light astringency dances across the palate. Much brighter and more delicate i... ...read more

  • Aromas of rich ripe cherries, blackberries with hints of toast, and vanilla coalesce into a single sensation of olfactory bliss. The mouth is filled with an array of flavors, including cherry, plum, cranapple, sweet raspberries and strawberries with lingering hints of cocoa and cinnamon, while supple tannins leave a pleasing finish. Each juicy sip is more comforting than the last always leaving the palate to want more.

  • Appellation: Ramona Valley

  • Winemaker: John York
  • '07 Merlot - this wine is made from grapes from Pyramid Vineyards in Ramona. The goal in developing this wine in '07 was to make a light "porch wine" that has a broad commercial appeal. We used American oak chips in the first rack. It is relatively light in color and soft on the palate, showing good varietal characteristics.
