- 2021 Extradimensional Wine Co. Yeah! Merlot Mariana's Vineyard - USA, California, San Francisco Bay, Santa Cruz County (2/21/2024)
Decanted for two hours prior to first pour, I thought for a moment that I had been transported to a mystical land where Merlot smells like orange zest and flowers. The brightness eventually integrated, yet I was still left thinking that this was Merlot crafted in the Loire, and I loved it! Deep down the Merlot roots took hold, and transported some darker fruit to lay a foundation, but the framework of the home remained as before - brightly colored, showing a touch of green on the edges, and long on finishing touches. This is a different, exciting way to experience Merlot.
