2008 Basel Cellars Merriment
Community Tasting Note

87 Points
Saturday, May 10, 2014 - Popped and poured. A fairly typical Washington bordeaux blend. Lots of red fruit and soft tannins; enough acid to match well with most foods. Decent finish. This came across a little more simple than I would usually like but it's more than serviceable and should work very well with a random group of people...might even impress a few.
