Novelty Hill Merlot 2020

If you aren’t familiar with Mike Januik and the wines he’s making at his own winery and at Novelty Hill, you need to change that ASAP. For the last 30 years, these are some of Washington’s most decorated, elegant wines. The 2020 Merlot is actually a Bordeaux blend that also features some Cabernet Sauvignon. That gives this a little extra force and some structure but it’s a sweet fruited, well-balanced treat that certainly appeals to a lot of palates. No surprised to see it rewarded with two strong 92-point reviews.

Original price was: $28.00.Current price is: $24.99.

92 Points,Parker’s Wine Advocate

Enhanced with 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2020 Merlot captivates with a fine, focused and pure nose of delicate purple flower aromas alongside hints of plum and black cherry. The medium-bodied and refined palate showcases well-balanced tannins, offering a fresh and complex mouthfeel. This wine delivers excellent value for its price point, ending with a succulent, food-friendly finish.

92 Points, James Suckling

Black plums, cloves, charred bark, sandalwood and bitter chocolate here. Tasty and spicy with a full body and tight-knit tannins. Nicely framed with a firm and tight finish.
