February 7, 2020 - Consistent with previous notes. Nearly mature. Well-balanced and well-made Spring Mountain Merlot. Drink 2020-2024. Technical score: 91. Enjoyment score: 92.

April 29, 2019 - Much improved and more accessible since our last tasting 20+ months ago. Not a lot of complexity but well built. Chocolate cherries, chocolate mocha - lots of chocolate everywhere on the nose and palate - with sprinkles of raspberries, blackberries, and plums. Herbs, soy, coffee, tobacco, and eucalyptus balance out the sweeter flavors. Very well balanced and seems to be in a prime window - I did not need to decant. Paired with pizza but the pizza was marrying up. Drink 2019-2024. Technical score: 91. Enjoyment score: 93.

February 14, 2019 - Fun merlot. A little unexpected on the palate: tart chary and chocolate (not surprising), but also white pepper, especially after 2 hours in the decanter. For some reason this was listed as "drink by 2017," but that was clearly not correct; this wine has years left. I will update the drinking window to 2022.
