2013 Somerston Stornoway

"The 2013 Merlot Stornoway is a blend of nearly 88% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc. It is a beautiful wine, offering oodles of lush mocha and chocolate notes, black cherry and berry fruit, full-bodied opulence, a voluptuous palate, and a fleshy, savory mouthfeel. Talk about hedonism – this wine is loaded with it. It should drink well for at least a decade or more. This is a real crowd pleaser and I’m sure it would acquit itself extremely well in blind tastings with wines two to three times the price." 93 pts, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
