The 2013 Long Meadow Ranch Merlot has 13% Cabernet Sauvignon blended in. The wine was aged in 50% new French oak prior to bottling and begins with aromatics reminiscent of dill, red currant, red cherry and hints of black tea. There are flavors of mint, eucalyptus, red cherry and red raspberry. The plush mouthfeel is lovely as this remains soft and round through the finish. This should age gracefully wover the next few years. (Best 2017-2024) - February, 2017 (OB)
