Lost track of this bottle but had been cellared since it was bought -- still drinking fine. Decent amount of fruit that did not flatten out throughout the bottle. Developed rim like an older wine but not brown; still some time left if you are sitting on some. Good, solid CSJ merlot.

One of the better wines we've had lately! Easy to drink alone, or with food. AWESOME bouquet -- herbs, fruit, smoke. Tasted great -- oak, leather, no tannin -- with a pot roast, savory green beans, and Parmesan-rosemary raised sweet potatoes. But best with Hershey's dark chocolate kisses! I would buy a case of this tomorrow!!!!!

Strongly acidic and a bit oaky, both covering dark fruit. Strong tobacco wth dark cherries but such a short finish. May be past its prime.

Easy drinking wine. Smooth, nice table wine. Enjoyed very much on its own. Shared this bottle with my sister.

Not bad for ten bucks on sale.
Some decent medium spicy red fruit. Smoke. Lots of fruit showing. Finish is one dimensional. Not bad.
