Merlot Grand Reserve – 2017; Robert Clay Vineyards; Mason, Texas

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!
