Water into Wino: Uva Mira Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

[Water into Wino] After passing up a $60 red from Anwilka and a $40 red blend from Meinert, I found a $20 Merlot Cabernet blend from Uva Mira. With the stars aligned for a wallet-to-bottle connection - and by stars I mean a wine labeled as Stellenbosch, a decent score by Steve Tanzer and the importer being Michael Skurnik - I brought this bottle home.

Super Sexy Merlot

[the Crush Pad] While, of course, we think of Merlot’s home land as being Bordeaux, Monday’s class journey took us around the world!  From a fresh, vibrant Merlot from Banrock Station (Australia) to the BIG, BOLD and Tannic Saint-Émilion (famous for growing Merlot in Bordeaux) the wines were so fun to taste all side by side.  Some notes on a couple went from a palate of bursting fruit, saturated dirt, funky forest floor to gorgeous crushed red velvet.  Merlot, being one of those grapes that makes itself around the globe pretty good, is hard to showcase in just 6 pours.  Knowing that every corner of the world from New Zealand, South Africa and Oregon could have been part of our drinking journey –

Cellar in Manahattan : : Bordeaux Wine News

[Bordeaux Wine News] "City Winery combines four elements : a cellar where clients can make their own wines, a concert hall with a raised stage for performers, a wine bar and restaurant, and finally a team who organise private parties or events like weddings," explains David. The place itself is on two levels (ground floor and basement), and is both spacious and elegant, like a large loft with a high ceiling, warm natural (pale wood) colours which offset the metal structure on the ceiling and provides seating for 350 people!

Cellar in Manahattan : | Bordeaux Wine News

[Bordeaux Wine News] It is hardly surprising that the City Winery makes its own wine, as it aims to take advantage of the fact that Americans are more and more attracted to this beverage, which already accounts for two thirds of the total number of drinks consumed by the establishment’s clientèle today. 200 customers have taken it a step further by buying a 225 litre barrel with a view to producing their own bottled brew.

[Taste TO - Food & Drink In Toronto] It’s in the New World that Merlot started to be placed in the spotlight instead being in the supporting position to Cabernet Sauvignon.  In the New World, Merlot is grown almost everywhere red wine is made. It has very fruit forward flavours, soft tannins, it’s generally very smooth on the palate and just about everyone likes it, even if they can’t describe it.
