Gundlach Bundschu Sonoma Valley Merlot 2012

$29

The Merlot on the winery's estate is distinctively dark and weighty, and especially so in the 2012 vintage. Aromas of blueberries laced with black tea and cocoa are followed by beautifully integrated flavors of blue and purple fruits, semi-sweet chocolate, fresh tobacco leaf and spice box. Supple tannins add weight and a polished texture and lead to a lush finish of ripe berries laced with pekoe tea. Delicious upon release, this Merlot will benefit from five years of cellaring from vintage and continue to age gracefully for at least ten years.

Berry flavors with hints of tea and maybe a little tobacco flavor. Nice finish.

Beautiful wine. Ripe strawberry, blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry with dark chocolate, smoke, toast, and tiny hints of violets, lavender, and wet leaves.

Long ago I sold this wine. The aromas/flavors resonate strongly with those older versions. Undercurrent of fresh herb to go with the floral black cherry tastes.
