MERLOT WINES

Grown in Bordeaux, esp. Pomerol, and in California, Washington State, Chile and Italy and other areas. The wines are rich in plum flavors, smooth and lush. Medium-bodied and soft, though there are many that are well-structured. Perfect for roast lamb and duck. Inexpensive Merlots accompany burgers perfectly.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (WA): NR
"This plump, fleshy, seductive, 100% Merlot cuvee from Christian Moueix exhibits herbal, sweet plum, cherry, and mocha notes along with supple tannin and decent acidity... It is a charming, sensual Pomerol to enjoy over the next decade. Drink 2008 - 2018"

REGISTRY 		Chateau Pape Clement Rouge 2005 Pessac-Leognan 375ml Half Bottle (365558)

Item:
Case Price: $4,198.80
 
Case:
24 Units


Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (WA): 98
RP: "Probably the greatest Pape-Clement ever made, the dense purple-colored 2005 (a blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon) exhibits sumptuous notes of smoky scorched earth, graphite, melted licorice, and blackberries. Once past the exquisite perfume, the wine reveals full body, extraordinary concentration, plenty of chocolate, smoke, cassis, and blackberry flavors, and that unmistakable volcanic ash-like earthiness that comes from this appellation. The tannins are slightly sweeter than those found in most northern Medocs, but this is still a backward, large-scaled effort that requires 7-8 years of cellaring. It should last for 30-35 years."

ADD TO
REGISTRY 		Chateau Pavie Grand Cru Classe 2005 St Emilion 375ml Half Bottle (310280)

Wine Spectator (WS): 100
"I love the purity of fruit in this wine, with perfectly ripe blackberry, blueberry and raspberry on the nose. Complex and full-bodied, with hints of new oak and wonderfully polished tannins that caress the palate. Long, long finish. This is not the blockbuster it was from barrel, but rather a complete, balanced and gorgeous red."

ADD TO
REGISTRY 		Future-Arrival Sale: Tua Rita Redigaffi Vino da Tavola 2006 Tuscany 750ml (151045)
|   WA: 97   |   
Item Price: $279.95
Item:
Case Price: $3,359.40
 
Case:

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (WA): 97
"The 2006 Redigaffi is another deeply-colored, intense offering. Blueberries, blackberries, grilled herbs, minerals and French oak emerge with tons of inner sweetness as this beautifully delineated wine opens up in the glass. This gorgeous, sculpted Redigaffi possesses tons of harmony and class all the way through to the polished, energetic finish. Although the tannins are rather firm, they are virtually buried under the wine's fruit. This is an awesome effort from Tua Rita."

REGISTRY 		Chateau Valandraud 2005 St. Emilion 750ml (125051)

Item Price: $324.95
Item:
Case Price: $3,899.40

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (WA): 95
RP: "This is one of the most riveting examples of Valandraud Jean-Luc Thunevin has made over the last fifteen years. Thunevin and his partner, Murielle Andraud (who has much of the responsibility for their brilliant Margaux, Marojallia), exhibit impeccable attention to detail, resulting in an inky/blue/purple-colored 2005 Valandraud boasting a sweet nose of melted chocolate, licorice, graphite, espresso roast, and copious quantities of black cherries and blackberries. Pure, layered, and full-bodied, with gorgeous integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol, and wood, this stunning effort will be drinkable in 7-8 years, and should keep for three decades. Slightly more than 16,000 bottles were produced."

Wine Spectator (WS): 95
JS: "Dark ruby in color, with intense aromas of blackberry, mineral and dried lavender. Full-bodied, very dense and layered, with powerful tannins. This is big and very rich. A bodybuilder. Needs time. Best after 2016. 1,330 cases made."

Case:

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (WA): 98+
RP: "Pavie's 2005 exhibits a thick-looking purple color to the rim as well as an exquisite perfume of blueberry and blackberry liqueur, unsmoked cigar tobacco, crushed rocks, damp earth, and hints of truffles and incense. The vineyard's limestone soils have provided massive concentration, a laser-like precision, fresh, zesty acidity, and massive tannin. Despite the wine's enormous concentration and intensity, there is a lightness to its style."

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (WA): 99
"It boasts an extraordinary perfume of graphite, blackberries, cassis, and sweet kirsch intermixed with notes of incense, spice box, licorice, and subtle wood. Stunningly rich with full body, zesty acidity, and high but velvety tannins, the final blend is composed of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. This monumental St.-Emilion requires a decade of cellaring, but it should last for 4-5 decades. It will unquestionably be one of the vintage’s immortals. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2035."

Item Price: $799.95
Item:
Case Price: $9,599.40
 
Case:
12 Units


Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (WA): 97
RP: "...a blend of 69% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and a touch of Cabernet Franc. While there is little difference between La Mission and Haut-Brion’s terroirs (their vineyards are only separated by a two-lane road), La Mission possesses more fat, texture, and intensity. An enormously endowed wine with huge tannin and structure, the 2005 offers a quintessential Graves bouquet of burning embers, charcoal, blackberries, truffles, black currants, and a meaty character."
