  This was on our "daily drinker" list and it paired really well with Spaghetti with Meat Sauce. I had to use a cork puller because cork screws tore through the cork center. The puller was able to retrieve the cork save a few bits I was able to fish out of the decanter. Decanting--and time--softened the sharp (oak?) bite. It was a bit past its prime but still had some enjoyable fruit flavors. It maintained a relatively short tail but still beats the heck out many of the bitter daily drinkers we find at Costco and elsewhere!

  I was disappointed that the oak had not integrated in this, and that the merlot lacked the depth and power to overcome the oak at this point. I saw no signs of secondary or tertiary notes in the wine yet.

  Overwhelming oak even after a long decant, pleasant and full but not the best example of Cadence's capabilities.

  Procured from the library release at winery last weekend. At peak. More wood than fruit and a tad hot upfront. Super tasty but lacking the depth and finish of a “wow” wine. Fun to dive into the archives though.
