  Baer is always a consistently good producer, so good that I often drink them young, so this merlot with 10 years in it was a real treat. Vibrant black cherry quickly gives way to tobacco and loamy notes, with a dash of acidity and fully resolved tannins. Should be drinking well for the next 3-4 years.

  Well-integrated black cherry, plum, dried tobacco and touches of dark chocolate. Tannins fading with a rounded finish.

  This followed a 2009 Jessup Merlot (Napa vs. Col Valley WA), with similar notes - blue/black berries, plum, black cherry, & vanilla, but with darker chocolate notes. Tannins were pronounced, but pleasant, and a full finish.

  Bottle was in good condition, but I just could not appreciate the wine, which is more a statement of style (I prefer a more jammy wine) than of the quality of the wine. It is a big, powerful merlot, but lacking the flavor profile that I enjoy.

  In a good window now. Smooth and excellent with roast chicken with mushrooms.
