Lenz 2017 Merlot Estate   

2017 The Lenz Winery Estate Selection, Long Island

Wine Advocate 90 Points

The current-release 2017 Merlot Estate Selection delivers hints of tomato and tobacco alongside black cherries on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied and supple, nicely rounded and generous in the mouth, then softly dusty on the finish. It's not the biggest or most tannic Merlot, but it exemplifies the approach to red wines here, emphasizing balance and elegance. Drink Date: 2023 - 2030 Joe Czerwinski Apr 17, 2025
