Description:
When someone says Merlot, most of us have a prejudged opinion of and expectation for what will be in the glass. This vintage of Gainey Limited Selection Merlot hopefully will surprise those with predetermined pessimistic opinions and please those who have expectations of pleasure derived from a glass of Merlot.
The first splash in the glass immediately releases an enticing perfume. Deep berry aromas predominate, but there is so much more here. Lovely toasted oak scents enhance the fruit and are complimented with sweet caramel and chocolate notes. A thin vein of minerality and a dash of mint add complexity.
In the mouth the wine is suave with a restrained power. Refreshing, lively acidity ensures the wine will be food friendly. The smooth tannins and deep berry flavors, though, foretell pleasing experiences simply savoring the wine on its own. A compact wine, this Merlot takes a moment to open up and reveal delightful concentrated berry flavors. Patience pays off.
