  Pretty mellow but tasty Merlot from Rutherford Hill. Started kind of short but actually evolved into a little length. Soft dark fruit on the nose and palate without too many tannins. Had some minerality and some herbs/eucalyptus on the palate. After about 30 mins the wine opened up a bit and grew some tannic length. Still overall pretty soft, but paired nicely with a Puttanesca sauce over Angel Hair with some sweet Italian sausage.

  Good but nothing special. Got it on sale so very good for the price. Medium finish. Cherries w some berry. Didn't win me over from cabernet!

  Decanted for 30 minutes.
  This one really improved over time. On the nose I got less oak then previously noted. More cherry and minerals. Really nice! Its a real mouthful.
  Really chewy dark fruit flavor. Medium length. I wouldn't sit on this one to much longer.
