Notes | |||
"Aged for 10 months in Hungarian oak barrels, our Merlot shows a deep garnet color and an enticing nose of mulberry, pine, and cocoa powder. The palate is rich with plum, black cherry and cedar that comes through a smooth, supple mouth-feel, finished with soft, round tannins. While delicious to drink now, it should age well for many years." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Currants, black raspberries, violets, green tobacco and bitter chocolate on the nose. Peppercorns, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, coarse tannins. Fresh, with a green and peppery edge. Drink in 2022. Screw cap." —James Suckling "The 2019 Estate Merlot also has 5% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot, all aged for 10 months in 10% new Hungarian oak. It comes in very dry and at 12.9% alcohol. This is the former Reserve bottling, now just labeled "Estate." The best of Lieb's offerings, happily at the nicest price too, this has beautiful purity of fruit, pretty good concentration and a balanced approach." —Wine Advocate |
