2021 Revalation Merlotage

40% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc, 20% Tannat

The 2021 Revelation Merlotage from Central Virginia is a captivating red wine blend that demonstrates both versatility and depth. It presents a unique drinking experience, suitable for enjoyment at a chilled 40°F or a more traditional room temperature of 65°F. To fully appreciate its bouquet and palate, it's recommended to let the wine breathe for about 30 minutes before serving.

Visually, this Merlotage is striking with a light magenta hue, enriched by subtle terracotta reflections that hint at its carefully crafted maturity. The nose is greeted with intriguing aromas of plum and aniseed, complemented by an unexpected but pleasant undertone of smoky, cooked eggplant, adding complexity to its profile.

On the palate, the wine is round and offers a medium-long finish that maintains a plumy, well-integrated taste. The tannins and acidity are well-balanced, suggesting that the wine will continue to mature beautifully over the next 3-5 years. When served slightly chilled, the wine shifts, expressing a fruitier and fresher character, making it a delightful choice for various occasions and pairings. The 2021 Revelation Merlotage is truly a testament to the rich viticultural heritage of Central Virginia.
