Substance Merlot 2013

Dark! mouth filling, dense and rich. Coffee, dark cocoa, boysenberry, mineral and earth. It has it all. With wonderful texture and length. Dark. Mouth filling. Dense. Rich. Repeat.

“The 2013 Super Substance Merlot Northridge is a serious effort that’s reminiscent of a top flight Pomerol. It sports a deep ruby/purple color as well as ample black currants, plums, wet clay and earth in a rich, full-bodied, concentrated, layered package that’s already hard to resist. Nevertheless, I suspect it will be even better with 2-3 years of bottle age and drink well over the following 10-15 years.”
