Pollak Vineyards Merlot 2023 Review
This Merlot comes from Pollak’s estate vineyard in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Monticello, Virginia. It’s aged for 14 months in 40 percent new and 60 percent neutral French oak. The resulting wine smells like mushrooms and autumn leaves with a slight hint of freshly brewed coffee. The palate is round, rich, and balanced. It’s a joy to sip with amazing medium fruit depth and expertly managed acidity. So. Darn. Good.
