'05 Napa Meritage Blind Tasting (Campobello, Anchorage): Tasted blind. Chose as 4th in the tasting. Very toasty nose. Paine grille, chocolate, and spices. Black fruits, high acidity, and moderate tannin structure. Very approachable and user friendly. Is it a better wine than the '05 Dominus, no, did it show better today? Yes.

Tannins are still holding their own, great pairing with beef. Dark cherry and cherry. A very nice Cali version of a left bank red blend.

Smooth, very drinkable. Decent balance, nothing stands out.

Nice red blend. Just a bit of smoke/oak, but more dominated by cherry and blackberry.
