Description

1995 Fetzer Eagle Peak Merlot A Timeless Treasure

Aged nearly 30 years under the most pristine conditions at MERCHANT OF VINO (formerly Wine Barrel Plus), the 1995 Fetzer Eagle Peak Merlot is nothing short of remarkable. Despite its age, this wine still retains some of its youthful vibrancy, a testament to both its craftsmanship and ideal cellaring.

A Note on Opening Older Bottles:

When it comes to opening a wine that has spent 30 years in storage, using a cork puller is highly recommended. Older corks can deteriorate and crumble if handled with standard methods, potentially compromising both the cork and your experience. A core puller, however, ensures the cork is removed intact, preserving the wine’s integrity and making the opening process a much smoother and more enjoyable affair.

While the fruit notes have softened over time, the flavor profile remains superb, displaying a depth and complexity that only decades of aging can achieve. The tannins have mellowed beautifully, allowing for a smooth, elegant finish that lingers on the palate.

Enjoyed alongside a perfectly cooked filet mignon, mixed vegetables, and a generous serving of caramelized onions, this bottle elevated the dining experience to an unforgettable level. Highly recommended by Mark George, this vintage is a rare gem that showcases just how extraordinary well-preserved wines can be.
