iCellars 2017 Merlot

I was surprised to see this wine all ready at iCellars – but they’ve done a superb job with it. 12 months in both French and American oak, one-third of which is new, and achieving a whopping 14.5% alcohol – it’s the first 100% Merlot made there and it’s gorgeous – and if this is any indication of what the 2017 wines are going from this winery, then we have great things to look forward to. Blue and black berry with a silky smooth mouthfeel, lovely black cherry and hints of dark chocolate – there’s even a floral note in the form of violets on the long finish. Approachable yet age-able offering from iCellars, this one is really worth picking up.  Price: $45.00 – Rating: ****+
