Drank with Diane & Ray & Marianne. A soft, yet fruit forward merlot which was smooth and pleasant, but not much life left. Drink soon. Interesting compared to the WS tasting note -- this has mellowed in its old age into a smooth merlot.

Soft and mellow without being flabby. Not much nose, just a hint of spice. Lots of cherry and more spice on the tongue. Tannins are fairly subdued. Paired well with red meat, farro in cheese sauce and broccoli.

Very good but light for a merlot - I expected a heartier wine from Januik. Fortunately I have 2 more bottles and will wait at least a year before having them.

Not much of a nose. Light bodied for a Merlot. Slightly Jammie and tannins a little strong. This may have been better with a couple more years on the cellar.

Still going along with seemingly lots of life ahead. Solid core of fruit with medium tannins

medium bodied merlot, with more tannins than a typical merlot, but seems to match Klipsun wines.
Good fruit and a good finish.
