It was yucky when first opened, which I knew, but nice now after pouring a glass to sit, and leaving the cap off the bottle for 24 hours. I still say this is the best bargain PN to drink with sharp cheeses.

Even though we have had chillier evenings than usual it works. And, duh, it is January so evenings should be chilly.

Cheers!

Good advice - I had only tried three hours open, but this sounds good Tx

You're quite welcome! This stuff is harsh the first few hours, and even the next night to two at refrigerator temps. It really needs to be served between cellar temp and room temp for the best results.

The Infinite Monkey Theorem we have been enjoying is decent enough. Below average QPR, but an interesting 50/50 blend of CA and CO Syrah. Extra credit for creativity, maybe.

I'm bringing vegan pulled pork Hawaiian sliders, and individual 8oz Sex On The Beach fishbowls. They'll have the mini peach vodka and Malibu bottles sticking out of them.

I'm bringing home the Gold.

Absolutely hitting on all cylinders tonight. Beautiful nose of cherry, which was very jammy & in your face upon opening. It has subdued into a very subtle cherry spice mild cigar box with a touch of camphor and morning dew stone mineral type thing happening. The tannins have completely resolved and the oak has been almost completely swallowed up. Still a very dark wine with no signs of bricking. Finish has legs for days. In a great spot right now with no signs of decline anytime soon imo. Glad to have quite a few left in the cellar!

Status: offline 		Last night I opened a bottle of 2011 Ch. D'Arvigny (Haut-Medoc) so I could add some to my sautéed onions/mushrooms. I wanted to drink the Merryvale Cabernet that I opened, and not cook with it.
I also snuck a short glass of the D'Arvigny on the heels of the Merryvale and it was very good (but I knew that).
So that's what I'll drink tonight.
