    March 25, 2023 - It’s generally hard to go wrong with well-stored 2002 Switchback of any varietal, and this magnum of merlot was no exception. The wine was deep and dark and medium bodied. Still some lingering tannins on the finish but the delicious length of blueberry and cassis is front and center. Only a hint of tobacco. Super pairing with grilled salmon. On day two, the last glass from the room temperature bottle was even better than last night as the fruit was sweeter and the tannins more distant.
