Lastly, the flagship wine of Amuse Bouche, the 2013 Proprietary Red Blend Amuse Bouche (Merlot), 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, has always been one of the best Merlot-based wines in Northern California. It shows loads of espresso bean, white chocolate,
Dense and compact, this red is built for the cellar. Aromas of black currant and orange zest open to firm but complex flavors of blackberry, crushed stone and cedar. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2018 through 2024. 625 cases made. — TF (05/2016)
The 2013 Amuse Bouche is one of the more refined wines I have tasted here. Sweet floral and spice notes open up first, followed by an intricately woven fabric of expressive dark red fleshed fruits. Hints of menthol, tobacco and wild flowers add to the wine's sensual, perfumed personality. Elegant, supple and forward, the 2013 Amuse Bouche can be enjoyed young. The blend is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.- Antonio Galloni (10/2015)
