Sarah Puil, founder of BOXT, celebrated National Merlot Day (November 7th) a few days early with Studio 512.

Sarah says, “Our winemaker hand selected these highly sought after bottlings to show alongside our BOXT Profile FourFive because they highlight all aspects of a complete wine which is why we blend our 4 and 5 together. The fruit-forward aromatics, through the full bodied mid palate on to the lingering finish with fine grained tannins and lingering acidity. Perfect for a holiday cocktail party or paired with your Thanksgiving feast.”

  • DeLille Cellars D2, 2017 Merlot: Opens with supple and expressive red currant, green olive and clove flavors, then shifts gears and takes on increasingly muscular yet polished tannins on the long finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot – Wine Spectator ranked 63 in top 100 wines of 2020. 
  • Nickel & Nickel 2017 Suscol Ranch Merlot: Napa, CA- This single vineyard 100% Merlot was aged 16 months in French oak. A perfect harmony of juicy and succulent flavors. A small swirl coaxes enticing aromas of dark plum, green olive and cedar from the glass. Earthy notes of tobacco leaf, olive, tar and spice blend nicely with the dark, sweet fruit. From year to year, this wine’s distinctiveness lies in the lush, velvety tannins that expand upon the initial sip and develop with richness through the finish.
