Got this from a friend who was moving and cleaning out their wine rack. No idea how it’s been stored over the last 20 years. Dark color that shows little hint of its age. Nose is dark fruit, cedar, and slight herbal. Dry, fruit is pretty fresh for a 2000. Wouldn’t have thought it would be holding up so well.

This Merlot based Meritage is really growing on me. Opens up very nicely after an hour decant. Plums, blueberry, sage, hints of rosemary, chocolate. Smooth fine tannins and a medium+ finish. I’ve had several bottles of this and it keeps getting better.

This is amazing. Give it an hour plus decant and have it with a nice steak and you’ll be rewarded. It keeps getting better and better. Lovely fruit, plum, currant, smooth and with a long wonderful finish. Great value. Bought a case at around $30/btl.
