2013 Keenan Mernet Reserve 92 Point Sustainable Wine
Jun 07, 2017
2013 is our 15th consecutive vintage of “Mernet” (mare-nay) our proprietary marriage of Mer- lot and Cabernet. Each blend has been half Merlot and half Cabernet but no two wines have had the same vineyard combinations. The resulting wine is a seamless blend with an emphasis on high-toned sweet delicious rich fruit with an almost hidden depth and structure. Enjoy now or decades from now.
Cheers! Michael Keenan

95 Points: “The 2013 Proprietary Red Blend Mernet Reserve is equal parts Merlot and Caber- net Sauvignon. The wine has a saturated ruby/purple color, mostly sweet, rich blackberry and blackcurrant fruit with wild mountain flowers in the background. It’s pure and brilliantly hides any new oak. The wine is lush, medium to full bodied, long and well balanced. This is a beauty that should drink well for 15 or more years and is certainly one of the most interesting wines in the Keenan lineup.”
