Holiday Parties 2019 (Dogwood Grove, Arlington, VA): Every time I pick up a quality merlot, I think I should be drinking more of this stuff (see Rioja Blanco note above). Round mouthfeel and intricate nose and flavor profile of plum and red berries with some notes of toast and chocolate to boot.

4th Saturday Brown Bagger (Our house): Double blind. OPens with a bit of a medicinal cherry note that fades away, leaving herb and dark plummy fruit notes. Plush on entry- velvety mouthfeel with medium tannins. Cherry, plum and dark fruit flavors on the long finish. Guessed merlot. 92-93 pts.

Good, Napa floor merlot. Probably won't wait any longer on other bottles in cellar.

Cherry, popcorn and light floral notes. Decanted but no sediment in the bottle. Medium reddish hue and decent finish.

Consistent with previous note, though probably more medium-plus acidity. Relatively fruit-forward with a medium-long finish.
