May 13, 2018 - This is still quite young. Drank over 3 nights. Still tannic and a bit closed. Much more open on the second night, but still a touch rustic. The the third day was best and was finally smooth. These will need another year or two... but no problem drinking now with a decant.

January 5, 2018 - Drinking very nicely. It’s ready though. Great on PnP. I am primary a cab drinker and really enjoyed this merlot, as I most always do with Pride wines. Score [ 50 + 5 + 10 + 18 + 7 ] = 90

November 19, 2017 - A well integrated merlot. Nice dark blueberries and blackberries. Light pine and white pepper. Interesting.
