The 1994 Merlot is a sublime wine in this important vintage for Friulian reds. Layers of dark fruit, grilled herbs, spices and tobacco emerge from this medium-bodied yet surprisingly rich wine. Refined, elegant tannins frame the fruit all the way through to a long finish that practically lasts into the next day. This is a wine that made me literally lose my mind. Wow. In 1994 the growing season was quite hot, but then freshened up towards the end of the maturation cycle. The 1994 Merlot saw 11-12 days of fermentation and maceration, and was aged in 100% new French oak.
