Keenan 2013 Mailbox Vineyard Spring Mountain Reserve Merlot
$ 13499
Winemaker Notes
Beautiful deep-ruby color. Lavish aromas of black fruits, black cherry, crushed violets, mocha, and whiffs of tobacco. Sumptuously rich, filled with pure, dark-berry fruit flavors bolstered by spectacular Right Bank minerality that combines with savory Spring Mountain garrigue, while superbly fine-grained, chalky tannin and juicy acidity suggests a tasting window between now and 2035.
Critical Acclaim
As for the 2013 Merlot Reserve Mailbox Vineyard, this is 95% estate Merlot and 5% estate Cabernet Franc. This shows beautiful fruit, medium to full body, more layers of concentration and interest than the basic Merlot. The wine has excellent purity, loads of black cherry and mocha notes, along with darker berry fruit. It’s full-bodied, ripe and pure and at the same time never loses its sense of elegance or equilibrium. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.
