It delivers the expected ripe varietal character, with cherry and spices set against a balsamic backdrop. Dry and juicy, with reactive, structured tannins, it leaves a fairly clingy mouthfeel with a lingering balsamic whiff. It will certainly darken in bottle, but it will also soften over time. - By\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eJoaquín Hidalgo\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eon\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eJuly 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Winebow, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":44468380139633,"sku":"CL_CA_Merlot22","price":8.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/5407\/6785\/files\/px5t70ghec04_a49c09f3-1ea1-4647-a387-d89a711fec80.jpg?v=1788527242","url":"https:\/\/cellar-us.com\/products\/casa-lapostolle-cuvee-alexandre-merlot-2022-750ml-0iq2j1","provider":"CELLAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
