June 21, 2009 - Just a great bottle of WA state Merlot. Big juicy ripe cherries, currants, graphite, spice, green olive, herbs, and milk chocolate on the nose. Black cherries, plum, sweet herbs, chalky chocolate, raspberries, and a tiny bit of anise on the palate. Long finish and a full body. The wine made the burgers better. Love L'Ecole's WWV Merlots...usually bigger and more complex than their Cabs which I'm a fan of as well.
