Decanted for one hour and consumed over the next three. A good Merlot but nothing exceptional or memorable. Basically a "food" wine and not a "stand alone".

On the nose- Beautiful blueberry, strawberry, some nice earthy notes, dark chocolate, black cherry
On the palate- Beautiful blueberry, stawberry with some nice earthy notes, dark chocolate dipped black cherries, the finish is medium with a nice bit of acid from the cooler vintage that was 2011, I think this wine is in a sweet spot right now but I think it could hold for another 3-5 years in the cellar if you wanted

It is a bit past in age for this wine. So getting more of the dried fruits, but still very smooth. Preferred this wine younger for my taste.

Really excellent. Usually drink Ehlers wine younger, but this showed there’s value in holding them longer. Would seek out more at the right price.

Decanted for 2 hrs. Dark fruit nose. Consistent tastes of dark fruits & cherries. Tastes were not as big as previous bottles.
