2012 Right Tusque Merlot


This dark, somewhat brooding Merlot lets you know from the first scent and taste that descriptors such as intensity of flavor, bracing tannins, and structure are not simply reserved for Cabernet. This is mountain grown fruit with layers upon layers of flavors and aromas. Chocolate, truffles, violets, blackberries and cassis all blend and move seamlessly between the nose and palate creating an incredibly smooth, long and deep experience. Enjoy a glass and linger over the possibilities this wine provides. If you drink now decant, if you want to hold it for 15 years or any time in between, you will be rewarded with a taste of this truly craft style, traditional Merlot. This is Merlot the way it was meant to be.  Regular Retail $30
