  I need to ask Club Cuvaison what "Lot 12" means? I think it might be an early release of their standard Merlot for Club members.
  
  Some cocoa and tar on the nose. The main thing that I tasted was Rutherford dirt. Now I am not sure where these grapes were harvested, but this clearly has the dirt flavors I associate with some of the old Inglenook Cask Cabernets. Some fruit under the dirt but I would like a little more berry and a little less dirt to make this better. Tannins are nearly gone. I would drink up.
