Amuse Bouche Vin Perdu Red, Napa Valley, USA 2009

RP 92	WINE ADVOCATE Sweet dark cherries, mocha, menthol and licorice flow across the palate in the 2009 Vin Perdu. Merlot plays the leading role in this juicy, fruit-driven wine. The 2009 is totally different from the 2008, but is quite beautiful all the same. Hints of tobacco, sweet herbs and flowers linger on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2017. Proprietor John Schwartz believes California is capable of making Merlots that can stand toe to toe with the best of France, so he is setting out to prove that point with the help of winemaker Heidi Barrett. Amuse Bouche is the main label. Vin Perdu is the second wine of Amuse Bouche, but the blend varies considerably from year to year, which naturally results in wines that are quite different from each other across several vintages.

The 2009 is totally different from the 2008, but is quite beautiful all the same. Hints of tobacco, sweet herbs and flowers linger on the finish.
WS 91	WINE SPECTATOR Complex and well-focused, with aromas of currant and roasted herb that lead to layered flavors of black cherry, olive and fresh anise. Finishes with ripe but firm tannins. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2018. 625 cases made.
