New release of Plumpjack's Oakville Estate Merlot - limited. Get the new vintage before the ratings come out!92 Points Antonio Galoni: "The 2013 Merlot is dark, supple and nicely textured in the glass. Sweet red cherries, tobacco, mint, licorice and dried herbs are laced together in the glass. This is an especially savory, mineral-driven Merlot with good depth and nuance, but there is plenty of juiciness in the dark red/bluish fruit, some of that the result of the inclusion of 13% Malbec in the blend. Far from an easygoing wine, the 2013 is going to need at least a year or two for the tannins to soften. The Merlot is made from a site in Oak Knol."

Dark, dark tarty fruits. Bottle might have a little cork taint as the finish is off.

Big name vineyard delivers in a BIG way. The addition of Malbec to their Merlot is genius! Bottle has hints of mocha, blueberry, clove/smoke and cherry. Ready right now but would still benefit from a nice nap; 5/7 years.
