Coravan two glasses from this bottle as a pop n pour. Floral nose shows rich, dark fruit. While there are some rough edges indicating either its mountain youth or the vintage, this is clearly a well-made mountain Merlot. Give it some time then add 1-2 points to today's 91.

A decent merlot at this point, but not a reserve level wine in terms of quality. I love Keenan wines and buy every year, but this confirms that I'm just not a fan of many '17's just yet. Perhaps it comes around but not much enjoyment at present. With their great track record, it may very well come around eventually, but it will take time.

Family Winemakers Tasting 2021, nose of black berry, black cherry, floral notes, tasty, rich, big body, lots to savor here, needs 3 years to peak, long finish, $75.
