Row 128 Merlot Vertical Tasting Set

2013, 2014, 2015 Row 128 Merlot

Vertical tastings are a great activity to share with all your wine lover friends. They provide the opportunity to compare the different nuances each vintage of a wine has to offer. We recommend starting with the oldest vintage and then progressing to the newest vintage.

2013 Row 128 Merlot

2014 Row 128 Merlot

Dark tawny red at the core with some light bricking color at the brim. Bright and fresh on the nose with dark cherries, plum, sage and faint floral rose notes. Palate opens with a touch of lifted VA, juicy red cherries, ripe plum, warm oak spices and is showing medium tannins, medium acidity. The finish has good length, balance and has fine integrated tannins. Drinking beautifully now and should continue to evolve / improve over the next couple of years. (Best 2022-2025).

2015 Row 128 Merlot

Showing more maturity that the 2014 vintage with slightly more bricking in the color. Primary fruit is quietly hidden and has now been replaced with earthy secondary notes along with brandy soaked Christmas cake cherries, sage and oak spices. It has a softer palate with less acid and tannins that the 2014 Merlot. Ripe dried cherries, Italian prune plums, and earthy notes lead into a finish of butterscotch oak that has a flush of alcohol warmth (a sign of the warm 2015 vintage). (Best 2021-2023).
