The Merlot from Rutherford Hill has been a good choice year after year for quite some time, and the 2019 vintage is an extension of the line, with most scoring 90 and above. This one, however, only gets an 89 from me, because at 15% alcohol, I find it a touch "hot". The fruit and acidity, however, are in balance, and this is a most enjoyable "food" wine!
It has a Bordeaux style nose, with flavors of cherry, raspberry, and cassis blending seamlessly into a lingering finish, which especially compliments grilled meats. The alcohol content is 15% and Norm's score is 89.

Great with a medium rare steak, this would make a good companion for Veal Osso Buco as well as Rack of Lamb.
