Every red (other than Pinot Noir) that Queylus does has a bit of “other” within … this “Merlot” also has 13% Cabernet Franc within to add complexity. 16-18 months in oak and a mere 17 cases made, that’s tiny. This wine is a real beauty and very limited so it’ll be one you’ll want to snap up. Juicy core of black cherry, blackberry, and spiced-plum along with vanilla and mocha … Merlot may be unsexy and uncool but this is killer juice that will age well over the next 5-10 years … it’s layered, it’s lovely and yes it’s Merlot, so get some in your glass and drink it.
