Nickel & Nickel Suscol Ranch Vineyard Merlot 2005
Nickel & Nickel Suscol Merlot is a captivating wine with flavors of dark plum and wild berry enhanced by underlying layers of earth and sweet oak. The unique character of this vineyard includes a suppleness on the palate that few Merlots can offer. From year to year, its distinctiveness lies in the lush, velvety tannins that expand upon the initial sip and develop with richness through the finish. This evolution allows one to enjoy the wine today, yet also rewards those who choose to lay it down in the cellar. Wine Enthusiast The vineyard is south of the city of Napa, in a cool area, and the Merlot is traditionally ripe, dry and hard in tannins. The 2005 follows that formula. The new oak has not yet been integrated, and the wine is fresh, young and a little brash right now. But the tremendous heart of cherry, blackberry, chocolate and plum fruit suggests ageability. Score: 90. —Steve Heimoff, October 01, 2008.All sizes are 750mL unless otherwise noted.
