This Charles Krug Merlot is a remarkable example of what California can do with the Merlot grape. On the nose, aromas of ripe black cherries, sweet spices, and a hint of oak mingle together. On the palate, flavors of dark red fruits, baking spice, and a touch of mocha fill the mouth. The finish is smooth and lingering with a hint of licorice. Overall, this is a bold and complex Merlot that drinks like a higher-end wine.

More earthy vintage, with a richer, more dimensional character than its predecessor. The ruby color is deeper and more saturated, and yet the mouthfeel is smoother and more velvety. The fruit layers are more pronounced, with layers of ripe fruit, black fruit, and red fruit, all cohesive by a light leather and vanilla undertone.

Robust Merlot for the discerning budgetary customer. The body is substantial, with a high alcohol content that demands attention. Upon opening, the wine requires a brief respite to allow the tastes to harmonize. dark fruit notes, highlighting cherries and blackberries, are prominent, accompanied by a peppery and slightly acidic finish. The nose is recognized by floral and fruity aromas.

Charles Krug Merlot is praised for its rich, full-bodied profile and fruit-forward notes, featuring cherries, blackberries, and plums. Many appreciate its smooth texture and balanced tannins, while some find it slightly acidic or lacking in complexity. The wine often includes vanilla, oak, and earthy undertones, with a lingering finish. It pairs well with hearty meals, though a few reviews note it as unremarkable.
