Monday, April 17, 2017 - While opening, the cork was partially saturated and broke apart; I had to decant the wine through a strainer. Although removing the cork was problematic, I felt that the wine was still pristine and enjoyable. In fact, it's probably at the peak of its drinking window.
This Merlot has a dark purple color with a crimson rim and a nose of dark fruit, smoke, and cedar. It tastes fruity, with lots of dark berries and plums. The wine is medium bodied with a very smooth mouthfeel. Classic California Merlot.
