Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Monday, April 25, 2005 - i took this bottle over to a firend's house because they just saw "Sideways", and I wanted them to taste a good merlot (and I've always been a contrarian at heart). This wine did illicit a few "yummy" comments, and as it sat in the glass, the responses were more effusive. They were even able to discern the chocolate (her) and the plum (him) characteristics. Nice mouthfeel and finish. I did not detect any "heat" that another poster said a year ago. I'm guesssing the bottle age helped. Drink this great value in the next 2-3 years.
