Realm Cellars Merlot The Tempest Napa Valley 2015 750ml

<p><span class="H2ReviewNotes"><strong>99 Points&nbsp;Jeb Dunnuck</strong> "</span>With the highest percentage of Merlot (95% Merlot, with the balance Cabernet Sauvignon), the 2015 The Tempest is made with immediate appeal in mind. And it delivers. This knockout Merlot gives up a huge nose of blueberries, currants, licorice, Asian spices and chocolate. This flows to a full-bodied, gorgeously layered 2015 that has the massive, succulent fruit profile of the vintage, yet stays, pure, elegant and seamless, with building tannin. I don&rsquo;t see any need to hold off, but it will keep for 15-20+ years, easily." (12/2017)</p>
