Truchard Merlot 2022 (750ml) Rapel Valley

Truchard Merlot 2022 (750ml) Rapel ValleyIntense aromas of wild blueberry, ripe cherry, and cassis with a touch of cedar and earth. The mouth is layered with bright flavors of red currants, plum jam, and sweet vanilla. Ripe tannins fill the palate and provide an elegant finish of dried red fruits.

That hasn't changed

which reminds me of the 2005 with its concentrated

leeward slopes of the second ridge in from the Pacific

The Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a small mountain vineyard just east of the town of Geyserville

The red grapes give this wine a spicy nose and plenty of texture

Very tense and integrated

It makes you wait with so much delicious promise being drip fed into the mouth at first-and then it bursts forth and delivers

An elegant aroma full of character

with very good persistence and finish

The long hang time imparted great fruit finesse and velvety tannins to the finished wines

the Syrah is classically peppery
