Thorn Merlot 2014
Napa Valley, California, United StatesA Prisoner offshoot, the delinquent perhaps, comes with all the rich trappings of its incarcerated big brother. The fruit is intensely dark and aromatic. It’s mostly merlot, (Napa Vineyards that survived the cabernet replant) with small amounts of syrah and malbec to concentrate it even more. The oak is rich and prominent, soaking up, and permeating, the black cherry, cedary, spicy fruit that frames an opulent hedonistic alcoholic red. If you like your reds big this is it. Best now with barbecue ribs or grilled lamb chops.Tasted: 01 November 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| ON | $39.95 | 750ml | LCBO |
