A near perfect merlot. nice dark cherry fruit in the nose and on the palate. A slight hint of oak and some tannins present but not over powering. A medium finish. Very well made.

Deep purple on color with a nice clarity. Substantial body on this wine with bold complexity especially upon opening. At 59 degrees the wine is quite tight but opened nicely in the glass over an hour.
Nose has concentrated fruit, earthy spices and hints of cocoa which was interesting. A little rough in the mouth but the fruit and earthy spices come though. Still too much tannin and the finish is fast.
A nice wine for food, medium quality.

Uncorked it, then looked it up. Should have waited until 2012. Young complex fruity nose, great legs, good color. A 90+ wine in a few years. This bottle could have been a contender, if some idiot had not opened it too soon!

A delicious well-made Merlot. Likely to improve in the next 16-28 months.

Deep thick color. Nice dark cherry nose. Mild tannins and complex flavors on the tongue. Hints of chocolate and dark cherries with a nice finish.

A little young but spinning it through the vinturi opened it up
