June 27, 2023 - The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like strawberry and raisin. It tastes like orange, fig, raisin and strawberry jam. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

May 22, 2022 - Ripe, dark fruit for days. Plums and blackberry. A little smokey. Round. Nice length on the finish. Balanced. Clean. Medium body. In a really good place right now. 92

January 1, 2019 - Heavy and extracted as expected with moderate tannins. Stewed dark fruit, milk chocolate, and damp earth/funk. The fruit comes of slightly murky/dirty but otherwise the wine in while makes an attempt at flashiness. Needs 2-3 years to mellow out.

August 30, 2018 - Argh I thought I ordered the cab sauv. Time to wear a disguise so no one sees me drinking merlot
... or enjoying it. But actually I do.
Super extracted merlot on steroids ... and that's how I like it. -

June 4, 2018 - This 100% Merlot is a somewhat odd combination of ripe fruit and leathery structure that works - more or less - though it left me wanting for a bit more roundness and lift. Dark red in color, full in body, nose of blackberry, olive, and menthol. Tastes of boysenberry, black raspberry, leather, and tapenade, with a dry and somewhat tannic finish. 15% alcohol. This Merlot is well-priced, but it's a bit savory (read: olivey) for my taste. Drink in next few years.
