Opened and decanted in morning, drank 6 hrs later. Definitely recommend decanting to get the sediment out and let all the complexity unfurl. Hard to believe it's a merlot... a "cab drinker's merlot", reflective of the terroir. Definitely requires big meat!

Plenty of fruit. Lots of sediment so recommend decanting. Got into a bit of the sediment and ended up with a lingering bitters, back-palate flavor. Had to remember that the wine was good with a beef dinner.

Delicious juicy and fruit forward. A bit young, but decanted which opened the wine satisfactorily. Accompanied filet mignon that was marianated in merlot. Miner continues to please!

Nice structure and well integrated flavors. Drinking well right now with several more great years ahead. This wine went crazy good with our chocolate covered strawberries.
