Note di degustazione
A juicy and tannic red with a velvety texture and a fresh finish. Full body, chewy tannins and a long finish. This needs three or four years to come together. Merlot with a touch of cabernet franc.

96% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc . Potpourri and gunmetal aromatics. A dense palate with plenty of dusty, tactile tannins followed by a sweet finish. (ECB)
Lastly, the flagship wine of Amuse Bouche, the 2013 Proprietary Red Blend Amuse Bouche (Merlot), 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, has always been one of the best Merlot-based wines in Northern California. It shows loads of espresso bean, white chocolate, mocha, black cherry and blackberry fruit. The wine is soft, but structured, vibrant, juicy and full-bodied. Drink it over the next 15-20 years.
The 2013 Amuse Bouche is one of the more refined wines I have tasted here. Sweet floral and spice notes open up first, followed by an intricately woven fabric of expressive dark red fleshed fruits. Hints of menthol, tobacco and wild flowers add to the wine's sensual, perfumed personality. Elegant, supple and forward, the 2013 Amuse Bouche can be enjoyed young. The blend is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.
