Much better than the previous bottle (see note below) so yes, the previous bottle may have been slightly off. Rich RRV flavor, smooth, balanced and enjoyable.

Not what I usually expect from Merry Edwards, the best way to describe this was strong, a bit harsh for what I was expecting, maybe even a bitter edge. Drinkable but not the great experience I am used to. Did not seem corked, but perhaps an off bottle?

Light cherry red in color, faintly translucent. Fragrant nose of moist earth and strawberries. Light, vibrant fruit, dances on the palate. Strawberry, cranberry, spice. Beautiful minerality. Fine tannins, lovely acidity, exquisite balance. Finishes long and bright with strawberry and earthy notes. What Burgundy would be with RRV fruit. Should drink well for 6 to 8 years more, perhaps longer.

Still classic fruit on the nose although definitely some denser berries coming through. Intense leather and smoke flavors, not young but still lively. Could have lasted longer but drinks amazing

Focused and ripe fruit flavors with fresh acidity and full body. Excellent wine out of deft hands of an icon.
