Thursday evening DINNER wine: This Merlot really needs a food pairing IMO.
- 2018 de Négoce Merlot OG N.124 - USA, California, Napa Valley (5/28/2026)
Double decanted back into bottle with homemade pizza with artichoke hearts.
Nose: Finally has opened up after earlier shyness with plums and cherries in the bowl. Best bottle yet.
Color: Opaque dark red.
Palate: Plums, dark cherries, touch of barrel spice, picking up hint of cinnamon. Nice Thursday night Merlot, that really needs a food pairing. (90 points)
