2013 O'Shaughnessy Merlot 2014 part of Smith & HookA chunky 100% Merlot, the 2013 offers gorgeous toffee, black cherry and mocha notes as well as some chocolate. It has beautiful density, a plump, corpulent, medium to full bodied texture, and a luscious finish. This is a sexpot of a Merlot fruit bomb to drink over the next 8 10 years. 92 Robert Parker
