Kimmel Four Blocks 2012 Merlot

This is a big style Merlot that would appeal to those who enjoy red blends and wines with grit as I like to say. This wine has everything I want to experience in a red wine.

Opaque very dark black cherry red colored Merlot opens with a craisin, black raspberry bouquet with a hint of black currant and dark Swiss chocolate.
On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, smooth and fruit forward with flavors of ripe plum, blackberry, baked bing cherry and a slight hint of spice with a touch of oak and a smidgen of dark chocolate and black olive tapenade. The finish is pleasant and displays dry sticky tannins which linger for quite a while. Tastes like it has been aged a few years but is still fairly young.

Kimmel Four Blocks Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 (California)

Another great wine from Kimmel Vineyards. This wine is from their Four Blocks collection.

Slightly opaque and dark ruby colored Cabernet from Mendocino County. Light black cherry with notes of mellow oak and a hint of minerality.
Shines aromatically with rich, dark fruit and beautifully integrated notes of oak. As it opens up, there are layers of red berries, rose petals, black cherries with a kiss of oak.
The palate is sleek and concentrated with dark fruit, spice, vanilla and cedar. The finish is framed by bright acids and big, juicy tannins. I can only imagine how amazing this wine will be after it ages a bit.
