So I try Merlot occasionally to see if I can claim to like it, this was 15 years young and retailed close to $30 (15 years ago). So when I saw it on close out price I had to try. Good Merlots should hold on and this did. Very nice balanced fruit, not cab-like... how I describe Merlots I like btw. This currently ranks 3rd in my Merlot rankings; Twomey and Burgess have it beat but this was nice and glad I tried al this older varietal ... And I'd guess it probably has only a couple of years left of good drinking with this vintage

Well past prime. One bottle bad, the other ok.

Good now. Slightly over prime, but not bad.

Quality Californian. Fruity, round, soft, silky, generous body, fresh finish.
