This was a fantastic specimen of a California Merlot. Super soft, but had the complexity of a good cab. Dark, "sweet",fruit. Anise, and allspice. Fished with a chocolat/cheery, melt-in-your mouth softness. Everyone really liked this one.

Pretty purple color. Great fresh fruity nose. Lots of sweet complex fruit on the start, finishes smoothly. Nice body. New world style. Drinking well for 8 yr old cal. merlot. Very nice.

Popped and sat open for a couple of hours. A lot of dark fruits up front that finish with big fennel/licorice. Oddly there's no saddle leather or mineral notes. A nice Merlot but seems to be nearing it end. Drink up.
