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.
