  September 10, 2020 - Ruby in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.
  
  Fruity nose of red cherries, oak, earth, strawberries, red currants, spices, peppercorn, tobacco, alcohol, herbs, light vegetables and pencil lead.
  
  Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
  
  Dry on the palate with plums, cherries, strawberries, red currants, oak, tobacco, vegetables, earth, coffee and peppercorn.
  
  Medium length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
  
  This is a very tasty Merlot from Napa Valley. This 9 year old is tangy and spicy. Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel.
  
  Not from the best vintage, but good by itself or with food. A nice wine at this point. Thank you Wendy for sharing this with me.
  
  Might be a little expensive, but you have to pay for the name (from the house of Silver Oak).
  
  I had it blind (after 30 minutes of airtime) and it did not feel like a Merlot at all. I actually did not like it. After three hours of airtime, it opened up and showed the complexity. After 5 hours in the decanter, it becomes spicy and very tangy.
  
  I paired it with grilled chicken and veggies.
  
  14.5% alcohol by volume.
  
  91 points.
  
  $60.

  March 15, 2020 - Enjoyable
  Red currants
  Mint
  Mushroom
  Full body
  But medium finish
  Low-medium acidity
  Drink now aa acids and tannins have declined
  Greater tannic structure could balance fruits
