2019 Rivaura Merlot

Showing consistency across the board on aroma, flavor, finish, and balance with all our reviewers, the 2019 Rivaura Estate Vineyards and Winery Merlot was best in class in the Idaho Wine Experience. This wine has medium acid, tannin, and body. Wonderfully complex aromas and flavors of blueberry, black plum, black cherry tart, violet, green bell pepper, tomato leaf, toast, coffee, dark chocolate, turned earth, and cigar box. It is youthful but developing. Eminently drinkable now but with great aging potential. One of our reviewers said, “sign me up for a case!”
