Greatness can come
with time and this lovely aged Merlot from Messina Hof is no exception. After 17 years, it is still bold, yet the
tannins have softened quite a bit for a smoother mouthfeel. It still has fruit forward character and is
still well rounded. Notes of plums and
pepper still linger with this food friendly wine. Attention to good quality fruit and good wine
making skills back then was a “thing” at this winery before it became a
well-known “thing” in Texas. This
delicious red Merlot is a testament to that work and a great one to still enjoy
if you happen to have any bottles left. Cheers everyone!
