2006 Tangley Oaks Merlot
Wine Information –
Appellation: Napa Valley
Grapes: 100% Merlot
Oak Aging: French Oak for 20 months
Price: $15
My Tasting Notes –
Nose: black cherry, oak, vanilla, raspberry jam
Taste: black currant, oak
Mouthfeel: medium body with velvety tannins
Finish: short to medium in length, very fruity
Not a bad wine but not great. I was impressed with the nose, which was very powerful but the wine fell short on the palate. Very one dimensional and overly fruity flavor profile, the stuff that Merlot gets a bad rap for. It was very smooth though and I could definitely see some consumers liking it, although it didn’t do it for me.
Cheers!
