This
is certainly one of the best estate Merlots Dan has crafted. Having been barrel
aged for a whopping 52 months is a testament to his patience in wine
making. If you want the ultimate tasting
experience, besides tasting at the winery, let this baby breathe for a good 90
minutes and try a few sips while you wait. Clocking in at 14.0 abv, this Mason
County fruit boasts some mighty fine bright cherries and plums along with a touch
of nutmeg and a bit of cola. Swirl and
sip then enjoy that rich red fruit followed by some beautiful Mason County
earthiness. This wine is well balanced
and is drinking nicely now. Pair this special bottle with your favorite dish
and know how it feels to live well. Cheers!
Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.
