Getting to the end of the drinking window. Bad habit we seem to keep repeating. Medium fruit. Not quite as full as expected. The nose was not striking. Still can't quite put my finger on it. Nothing off, but nothing really notable. Love the Merryvale line, but this vintage doesn't seem to be as notable.

Very nice medium bodied wine, quite impressive for its price (+/- $ 28 in Switzerland). Nose, a bit earthy with a hint of fresh green gras, taste black cherry and a bit of of figues... something bitter in the aftertaste, but i havn't found the word to discibe the bitternes. Probably a bit young and therefore still a bit strong alcohol taste... I like it a lot though

Still holding up well, but I wouldn't hang on to it much longer.

Purchased at winery several years ago. Thought it would be well past it's prime but actually quite nice. Mellow with decent fruit.

Plum and black cherry, tannins somewhat tight. Interesting nose, but uneventful on the palate.
