Excellent bordeaux-style merlot. Great nose. Dark, complex fruits and tannins made for an excellent and smooth bottle of wine. This must have been a Club wine as I can't determine how I had with only a single bottle. The finish was short, and truthfully in a blind taste test, I would have guessed this to be a cab v a merlot. I'm not sure it will last much longer as the finish was weak. This is a good pairing with Gorgonzola cheese.

Started off very tannic and then the wine completely dissapeared. Not sure what happened. There was a smell to the wine that I could not identify, but was not pleasent. Glad that I had four people around to help me finish off the bottle so we could open a different one.

Bursting with dark fruit on the nose. Excellent mouthfeel-just enough grip to accompany the abundance of dark berries. Hint of cinnamon. GREAT WINE!
