2014 West of Temperance Merlot

Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 9, 2019 - A gift from the gang at West of temperance. Pop and pour. Big mistake. I grabbed this to pair with a filet mignon and it was the perfect pairing just in three more years. 30 minutes in the decanter helped. This is a beautiful wine with tremendous structure which needs more cellar time. The color is a deep crystalline garnet. There's a tremendous herbaceous note on the attack with rawhide. Combined with the dark cherry fruit, crushed black pepper and the very prickly tannins. Old world style and class. A tremendous wine.
