  5/8/2024 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 96 Points

  $100. Very Heavy Bottle (738g; 1lb 10oz). 100% Cabernet from Rockpile. When you see Rockpile it is A. Probably expensive and B. Probably really good. I would argue that Rockpile is coming close to American Grand Cru status, sitting above Lake Sonoma at 1300-1500 feet, it consistently produces some of the best Zinfandel and Cabernet in the entire county. And this follows that thinking. Plenty dark in the glass with spice, fruit, vanilla, and a floral aspect that sets this wine apart from the rest of the already stellar Merriam line-up. The palate continues along with the theme: rich, even unctuous fruit, plenty of body and depth, and an acidity that starts up front and continues right on through the finish. Yowza. Fantastic. 96 Points.
