  Classic mountain merlot with a lot of plum fruit. Sweet and silky. Still few year more of life.

  Pop and pour, followed over 2 hrs. Sadly my last bottle, this is as good as Merlot gets. In a great place but no rush if you don’t decant. Enough said.

  Opened and allowed to breathe, undecanted, for an hour. Slightly pruny and high in alcohol upon opening and for the first hour.
  
  Dark, watery blackberry and black cherry fruit dominates. This packs a great punch for a 10-year-old Merlot but I’ll drink remaining bottles during the course of this year to minimize risks noted from the pruny opening. My wife who normally rates wines 2 point below me pushed this to 93-4.

  Consistent with previous bottles; notes of mocha, cherry cola, and plums. More precision and grip on the palate compared to the 09 switchback ridge merlot which we had earlier in the evening.
