1999 Merlot

1999 Merlot Wine Details
Price:

Description: It is deep. It is slow to awaken. Crafted in such a big style, it is demanding lots of bottle age. After extensive breathing, however, we know what's there: a Merlot that's bigger than many other winery's Cabernets. Long after this vintage is gone from other wineries, this wine is just being released. It demands respect. It needs its rest and will not be show off until ready. The time is now. Now and for the next ten years, this wine will evolve, will delight. It will remind you why Merlots were so wonderful before they were popular. Our usual food with Merlot: Parmigiano Reggiano. Or consider grilled mushrooms, roasts in a cherry sauce, or spicy foods. It stands up to big flavors. It will for a long time to come.
