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

  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?
