Surprisingly primary and very youthful, this has an abundance of sweet, layered Merlot-fruit with hints of tobacco and sous bois, a good balance and a straight forward jammyness back by a serious backbone and structure - and yes, acidity. Better than expected, this wine will live on, surely.

Ok so no tasting notes in a while. I'm back and this is delish with my man at Avant in Rancho Bernardo. The special cellar. . It's like a good book you want to read more of. Earthy deep and soulful . Rich dried berry fruit and super sexy spicy mouth filling finish. I'm happy he's happy ah. A merlot is either eh or blow your mind. Right?

We enjoyed this wine after letting it open for an hour or so. Very little bitterness with mellow cherry notes. Would not age further.

From the white label
Aroma developed dried fruit, cherries and figs
The palate is rich creamy, creamed blackberries , a good sweet core
Conc: 13yr old Merlot, from Napa thats balanced and rich great with cured meats impresses
